Buying Printers on the Florida NASPO Contract: Canon Single-Function Printers

Quick answer: Florida state and local agencies can buy Canon single-function (print-only) printers through the Florida printer contract — Alternate Contract Source 44100000-24-NASPO-ACS, “Multi-Function Devices, Copiers, and Related Software and Services.” Canon U.S.A. is an awarded vendor, and authorized Canon dealers such as ABS handle the quote and order. The Florida printer contract is a pre-established purchasing route — it does not replace your agency’s own quote, funding, and approval rules. (If you need copy and scan as well, see our guide to buying multifunction copiers on the contract.)

What is the Florida printer contract?

The Florida printer contract most agencies use is an Alternate Contract Source (ACS) managed by the Florida Department of Management Services (DMS): Multi-Function Devices, Copiers, and Related Software and Services, contract number 44100000-24-NASPO-ACS. It is built on a NASPO ValuePoint cooperative master agreement, so public entities outside state government may also qualify to use it. The contract covers a broad range of equipment — including multifunction devices and copiers, single-function (print-only) printers, production equipment, wide-format devices, and document scanners — for purchase or lease, with maintenance plans, and Canon U.S.A. is an awarded manufacturer. See the Florida DMS contract page.

Contract terms and dates change, so confirm the current expiration, renewal status, and pricing on the Florida DMS contract page and NASPO ValuePoint before you order.

Who can use the Florida printer contract?

State agencies and eligible users can purchase from this contract. Cities, counties, school districts, colleges, and other public entities may qualify as eligible users, but eligibility is not automatic — confirm your entity’s authority and Florida participation terms before requesting an order. Contract access makes a purchasing route available; it does not override your own statutes, spending thresholds, funding restrictions, or board-approval rules.

Which Canon printers are available?

For single-function, print-only devices, Canon offers imageFORCE printers and the imageCLASS X (LBP) line — from compact workgroup units to faster departmental printers, in color and monochrome. If a device also needs to copy and scan, a multifunction (MFP) model is the better fit.

How to buy a printer on the Florida printer contract

A clean purchase through the Florida printer contract usually follows four steps:

1. Document your needs first. Identify how many printers you need, where they go, color vs. monochrome, and expected monthly pages before you request pricing.
2. Request a quote from an authorized Canon dealer on the contract, such as ABS. Share your requirements so the configuration matches how you actually work.
3. Reference the contract on your purchase order. The NASPO master agreement number and the Florida ACS number (44100000-24-NASPO-ACS) should appear on the PO. For a lease or rental, a purchase document referencing the contract is generally used instead of a separate lease agreement — confirm the current forms with your purchasing office.
4. Confirm your own approvals. Route the order through your agency’s normal funding, quote, and approval process.

Buy or lease on the Florida printer contract

The contract supports both purchase and lease or rental, plus maintenance plans for either. Which makes more sense depends on your budget cycle, how long you will keep the equipment, and your service needs. Compare total operating cost — not just the equipment price.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Florida printer contract the same as the NASPO contract?

They are closely related. The Florida printer contract (ACS 44100000-24-NASPO-ACS) is built on a NASPO ValuePoint cooperative master agreement, which Florida DMS adopts as an Alternate Contract Source for state agencies and eligible users.

Do agencies need to bid or get quotes to use the Florida printer contract?

Usually not. The contract was competitively awarded, so no formal bid is needed, and Florida does not require state agencies to get quotes for equipment purchases under $35,000. Larger purchases and service contracts can carry extra steps, and every agency has its own internal purchasing rules, so confirm the process with your purchasing office.

Which Canon printers are on the Florida printer contract?

Canon’s single-function printers include imageFORCE P-models (1440P, C1333P, C1935P, 1643P) and the imageCLASS X LBP line. The exact on-contract models and pricing are set by the current price list, so ask an authorized Canon dealer such as ABS to confirm what fits your requirements.

Can I buy, or do I have to lease?

Both purchase and lease or rental are available on the contract, with maintenance plans for either.
