Internal Policy and Procedures

Materials Distribution Services (MDS) Pricing Policy

POLICY:

MDS core and non-stock items will be competitively priced with our goal to be at or below the current competitor's price. "Competitive Prices" are defined as the prices charged by vendors who provide similar or identical products and comparable services to those provided by MDS. MDS also contracts with vendors for broad lines of non-stocked products (office and laboratory) which, in most cases, may be purchased for next business day delivery through the MDS Ordering System.
