[ ORDERING PRODUCTS IS EASY! ]
The Air Force Civil Engineer Center, Emergency Management Division (AFCEC/CXR) will periodically conduct a bulk print ordering period which allows installation Emergency Management personnel to order products shown in this catalog prior to an actual bulk print run. The ordering and printing of these products is centrally managed by AFCEC/CXR to ensure the products our Emergency Managers are using maintain the highest quality and to ensure the Air Force receives the best pricing possible for those products through bulk printing processes.
All you have to do when the ordering period is announced is (first and foremost) follow the ordering period directions, then use the electronic catalog to choose the items and quantities you would like to order, go to the "Shopping Cart" tab of the catalog and populate the required information; making sure you input all the information accurately. When you have reviewed your order form for accuracy, press the "Submit Order" button and your order will be placed. You will receive an email detailing the products you ordered.
Once the ordering period is closed, AFCEC/CXR will complete all the necessary steps to have all the items bulk printed. After printing, the products will ship directly to the address you provided on your order form. It's that simple!
