Office supplies

All offices buy supplies for their everyday operations. Purchasing durable, high quality, less toxic products, reusing supplies, and refraining from buying single-use products reduces your impact on the environment. Additionally, many office supplies are made from recycled content, including notepads, file folders, scissors, pens, clipboards, and Post-It Notes.

Copy paper and toner can be found on separate commodity guides and separate contracts.
