The benefits that this contract vehicle provides are as follows:

  • Guaranteed Pricing discounts. The New York State contract assures that participating agencies receive:
    • 12% discount on RAE Systems portable instruments and supplies
    • This contract is also the ONLY mechanism that permits a discount (5%) off RAE Systems Wireless products, including: AreaRAE Rapid Deployment Kits and many associated wireless products
  • End users can now work more closely with procurement officials in locating local, participating RAE Systems distributors, whom they already know and trust
    • This frees up typical procurement time, effort, and expense, as well as permits your procurement department to deal with known, trustworthy vendors
  • No obligation to buy off the contract; it simplifies the process for those that do
