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.

The program’s benefits include:
- Tax-free shopping.

“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.”

Sales from the Business-to-Business Marketplace translate into additional earnings for crucial military Quality-of-Life programs that promote readiness and resiliency.
