First Aid Suplies

Solicitation 26-CR-043, issued by the School Board of Pinellas County, seeks suppliers to provide and deliver first aid supplies on an as-needed basis to the Walter Pownall Service Center Warehouse in Largo, Florida. The contract requires firm net pricing and F.O.B. Destination delivery with freight included.
