DALLAS – The Army & Air Force Exchange Service, the Department of Defense’s largest military retailer, is now offering tax-free shopping and discounts to all federal agencies and other organizations with government purchasing cards in the continental United States.
With more than 4,000 products, the Business-to-Business Marketplace on ShopMyExchange.com is ideal for installation commanders, contracting offices and others who deal with purchasing.
The program’s benefits include:
• Tax-free shopping.
• 10% discounts with government purchasing cards.
• Thousands of items, such as office and school supplies; military tactical gear; electronics and accessories; cleaning supplies; breakroom products; furniture; hardware; medical supplies; and more.

“In addition to serving military members and their families, the Exchange is providing the same merchandise, services and tax-free shopping to the business operations side of military and federal entities to help them through these tight budgetary times,” said CMSgt Luis Reyes, the Exchange’s senior enlisted adviser. “We’ve been doing this in Europe for three years with great customer satisfaction.”
In Europe last year, the Business-to-Business Marketplace’s major clients included the Army, Air Force, Navy, Defense Commissary Agency, NATO, Landstuhl Army Medical Center, Defense Department schools, AFN radio network and Stars & Stripes newspaper.

Sales from the Business-to-Business Marketplace translate into additional earnings for crucial military Quality-of-Life programs that promote readiness and resiliency. In 2018, the Exchange provided $223 million to support these programs, which include Child, Youth and School Services; Armed Forces Recreation Centers; and more.
