code.
The Very Last Word's territory

Contract items can be ordered
on-line, or by fax and phone. Most of the items included in this

State agencies must register
with Office Depot before they can shop and place orders using
the State of California office suppies contract. Agencies can
register on-line at www.califofficesupplies.com. Fax registration forms are also available at
this site.
Orders can be placed on-line
using the Epylon Corporation eCommerce System. The Epylon catalog
includes 380 core items at heavily discounted prices in addition
to over 6000 off-contract products at special discounts. If you
can't find an item that you are looking for in the Office Depot
catalog or The Very Last Word online catalog, call us. We add
new products every month and not all of them are in our catalog.
While this is a manditory
contract, state agencies may continue to do business with any
member of the team where they have existing relationships using
the current rules governing purchases from small businesses.
Off-contract items may be purchased from any team member.
Our Green List is a complete catalog of recycled imaging products
for CA state agencies that includes copiers, laser printers,
inkjet printers, fax and MICR. All of our compatible toner and
inkjet cartridges meet OEM performance standards and come with
a quality guarantee.
The Very Last Word has
been a succesful supplier to the State of California departments
and agencies for over twenty years. We are a certified Small
Business and conform to state standards for a Drug-free workplace.
Our hiring practices focus on women and minorities whenever we
can find qualified candidates. Currently over half of our work
force falls into one of these categories.
