Purchasing Support

Material and Contract Services (MACS) is a United States of America company that specializes in providing purchasing, contract administration, traffic and logistics and project management support to domestic and international companies.

MACS team of procurement/supply chain professionals have extensive experience in purchasing materials, equipment, spare parts and services and in negotiating transportation and export documentation agreements. The services include locating supply items, spare parts and equipment used in the Mining, Construction, Healthcare, Manufacturing, and Service Industries. We specialize in locating and purchasing items and equipment in 'short supply or allocated' conditions. Our contracts/agreements with distributors and manufacturers increase our capability to get the parts when needed.

We provide normal and after hours procurement support via cell or office telephone, via fax or E-mail service. The procurement process will be improved in March 2006 with the introduction of an e-procurement/e-commerce system that will provide our client base the capability to provide information on their needs via a web-based e-procurement system. The system will provide our clients a method to transmit their spare part, operating supply and equipment needs via the Internet. The system will also provide up-to-date information on the status of the purchase request and on the delivery/shipping status of the products. We can also provide back up documents to support a bidding process.
