San Diego-based WAXIE Sanitary Supply has secured a price agreement from the State of Oregon for janitorial supplies and industrial paper products, in addition to custodial equipment and incidental services. 

WAXIE joins suppliers who have met the State of Oregon’s price agreement specifications. This award allows state agencies to take advantage of pre-negotiated terms and conditions to achieve cost-effective and efficient acquisition of quality green products and services.

A press announcement says WAXIE’s approach met the requirements of Executive Order 12-05, Environmentally-Friendly Purchasing and Product Design, signed April 27, 2012 by Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber. 

“Everyone at WAXIE is excited about the opportunity to provide the state of Oregon and other states, their political subdivisions and local governments with more environmentally preferable products along with the best value proposition,” says Charles Wax, chairman and chief executive officer of WAXIE Sanitary Supply. “Our partnership with the state of Oregon is further proof and validation that we are committed to providing green cleaning supplies and support to leading agencies and organizations throughout the United States. In an effort to support environmentally preferable purchasing decisions, WAXIE is offering an extensive catalog of third-party certified green and other contract-compliant products.”

In presenting the award, the state of Oregon credited WAXIE’s  service record, its catalog of environmentally preferable products and price as reasons behind the selection.

 

“The State of Oregon looks forward to working with WAXIE to support the cleaning supply needs of our state buildings,” says Pam Johnson, the state procurement analyst for the Department of Administrative Services, State Procurement Office.

WAXIE Sanitary Supply is a family-owned distributor of sanitary maintenance supplies, including cleaning chemicals, equipment, disposables and accessories to the building service contractor, school, hospitality, healthcare, military, government, industrial and retail markets.
