*** As items become available on Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA), they can be ordered through the specific vendor that holds that BPA. When a device is listed on a BPA, Technical Approval is not required.

* The COTR is the person that purchases computer equipment for your unit.

Currently the Juniper Systems AllegroCE, Itronix Q100, Otterbox Cases, and HP iPAQ are on a BPA with PlanetGov. The AllegroCE is also available on the IBM BPA.

PlanetGov can now accept online orders from the USFS.

To access the Apptis Inc. Forest Service portal go to the Apptis Inc web site. Click on the "Forest Service Pricing" link and you will see a list of items available. After you make your selection you can place your order by calling Traci Fortune at (703) 279-3043 at Apptis Inc.

The IBM Forest Service Portal requires a username and password. The Unit's COTR that is responsible for ordering items from IBM should have the ability to order from this site.
After signing on to the IBM site, click on the "PC options and peripherals" link. Then click on the "Printers and peripherals catalog" link. The page that opens will have a link to the AllegroCE.
