Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) Refresh

Q & A:
Question: As an APC Channel partner we deal directly with APC and can utilize the Trade UPS program to get credits toward the purchase of a new APC UPS when turning in an old one. However, I am not sure what the credit system used in this excel sheet pertains to, as this is not how APC does it.
Answer: The vendor should contact APC to inquire about the credit system described in the solicitation. APC has the program described for some vendors. They may have an interest in participating in that program if they do not already have the described credit system.
