A contract the City can use today
The City of Raleigh can purchase from Kennedy Office under the OMNIA Partners / AOPD cooperative contract, Region 14 ESC Contract #158057. The contract was competitively solicited and publicly awarded, so no separate bid is required for covered purchases.
What this is
- An awarded cooperative purchasing contract, already in place
- Covered categories from office products through furniture
- Kennedy Office as the authorized local dealer servicing the contract
- Public contract documentation for your procurement files
What it does not require
- No new bid or RFP
- No new solicitation to post
- No policy exception
- No change to how departments issue purchase orders
- No system work required to start
Already have a supplier? Then test the price.
Most City departments already buy from someone. That is not a problem to argue with — it is something to measure. The awarded contract sets the terms, and the only question left is what the same items actually cost.
Send us what you are buying today. The Touchless Purchasing Review takes recent invoices or a spend report and prices those exact line items against Contract #158057, then returns a written comparison — usually within two business days. Free, no obligation, no meeting to book. If we are not better, you have lost nothing.

Print & PromoWhy Kennedy — in the order that actually matters
Every awarded supplier can point at the same contract. What separates them is price first, then whether anyone answers the phone.
First
Price
Consistent contract pricing on the items departments buy every week. We would rather show you than claim it, which is what the purchasing review is for.
Second
Service
You can pick up the phone and reach a person who knows your account. Not a queue, not a ticket number, and not a different rep every quarter.
Third
Local execution
We deliver into Raleigh with our own team. That is what makes the first two real — but it is a reason to stay, not a reason to buy.
Why local execution matters
A cooperative contract sets the terms. The dealer decides how it actually runs. Kennedy Office has served North Carolina since 1960 and delivers into Raleigh with its own team.
A local team
One point of contact for ordering, account management, and escalation — not a call center queue.
Local delivery
Kennedy delivers with its own drivers and can set up separate ship-to locations by department.
Spend stays visible
Reporting by department and by category, so Purchasing can see what the City is actually buying.
