AMD Attends First of Its Kind DHS Event in El Paso

MIRAMAR, Fla. - March 30, 2016 - PRLog -- On Friday, March 18, 2016, AMD representatives traveled to El Paso, TX to participate in a meeting of the Department of Homeland Security's Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Community. The event was designed to further familiarize the EMS Community with approved contractors under the current Blanket Purchase Agreement for Medical Supplies (BPA#: HSBP10-15-A-00036). This was also an opportunity for AMD to better understand the BPA end user and their specific operational needs.

The BPA for Medical Supplies simplifies purchasing of medical supplies and equipment for participating agencies, and provides access to quality supplies at competitive prices. AMD is the only contractor awarded in all three categories of the DHS BPA and delivers the largest inventory of medical supplies with the convenience of one-stop ordering. Said AMD CEO Sukrit Agrawal, "As a supply chain distribution company we always look to identify new ways to deliver quality, speed, and efficiency to our customers. With the Department of Homeland Security's initiative to streamline the purchasing of medical supplies, we listened to the needs of the customer and created a web portal that makes BPA-ordering simple. We thank DHS for allowing AMD to be an integral part of supply chain improvements in the government sector."
