The Lightning Press is a service-disabled, veteran-owned small business DOD-approved vendor and federally registered — to include the Central Contracting Registry (CCR), Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA), Wide Area Workflow (WAWF), FedBizOpps (FBO), and FEDPAY. As the author and copyright holder, I am a sole source provider for SMARTbooks (The Lightning Press).
Our highest demand remains from the military and organizations that support and work with the Services and the Department of the Defense.
We have the capability to accept and process both Government Purchase Cards (GPC; often referred to as IMPAC Cards) from card holders and Purchase Orders (PO) from Contracting Organizations.
All orders to Federal Government organizations and military units are TAX FREE!
Government Purchase Card (IMPAC Card)
Government Purchase Card (IMPAC Card) purchases are accepted and processed as regular credit cards (TAX FREE).
To order using your GPC, select the option to pay by credit card. In addition to an on-screen invoice and (printable) receipt, you will be sent a receipt of your order via email.
Purchase Orders (PO’s) and Contracts
We are federally registered and can accept purchase orders (PR&C) from contracting activities within the federal government. To process a PO, a purchasing specialist or contracting officer will need the following information:
- Federal DUNS# 132314233
- Federal Cage Code 1RM83
Quotes and pro forma invoices are available upon request. For more information, or to begin processing a purchase order (PR&C), please contact us at SMARTbooks@TheLightningPress.com
