Procurement<\/h2>\n

Buying Microsoft online services and\/or products for an entire government agency usually involves working with someone who partners with Microsoft. These partners can help you get set up so that the products fit your specific needs.<\/p>\n

The Path to Purchase<\/h3>\n

The buying process is designed to be simple: You contact a partner, who sends you a preliminary price list. Once you\u2019re ready to buy, you choose a plan, sign a contract, and receive your license from Microsoft. There are different types of partners to help you through the procurement process. Read about Licensing partners and Solution partners below to learn more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
