Send the list. We confirm stock before we quote.

One form. Under a minute.
Paste your whole list. Priorities, case quantities, need-by dates, and whether a verified equivalent is acceptable.

Six jobs, one desk.
Every request runs through the same people who quote it, source it and ship it. Here is the work.
Backorder and allocation replacement
Send the SKU your distributor cannot confirm. We locate the exact item across 490+ suppliers or return a validated equivalent with the cross-reference and documentation.
Recall and discontinuation cross-references
Part number transitions such as 3M to Solventum, discontinued respirators, and recalled lots: we map the replacement, confirm dating and quote it.
Stocked in Edina
Nitrile exam gloves, rapid respiratory tests, American Surgical neurosurgical patties, Bair Hugger warming blankets and Mighty Line floor tape ship from Minnesota in 1 to 3 business days.
Documentation on every quote
Lot numbers, expiration dating, country of origin, certificates of conformance and IFUs, provided before you commit.
Freight, pallets and blind ship
Case, pallet and LTL quantities, shipped from Edina, a partner warehouse or direct from the manufacturer, including blind shipments to your end users.
Institutional purchasing
Bids and quotes on letterhead, W-9, certificate of insurance and vendor packets, Net 30 for approved accounts, and purchase orders from government, school and health system buyers.

Dedicated stocking on open PO
For health systems and large accounts with an open PO or standing order, we hold high-velocity items in Edina so the next release is not exposed to a lead time. We do not pre-buy inventory on speculation.
Keep your prime. Add a backup that ships.
No contract disruption
Your GPO and prime-vendor agreements carry your contracted volume and they should. Keystone fills the orders those channels cannot, on a standard PO, with no renegotiation.
Off-contract by design
Roughly one in five procurement situations lands outside the contract: allocation, backorder, recall, discontinued part numbers, and demand spikes. That is the work we do.
Honest inventory status
We say where product sits: our Edina warehouse, on order, or available with lead time. If we cannot get it, we say so on the first call.
Will you undercut my distributor to win the base business?
No. We quote the lines your primary channel cannot fill. Standing programs are available for accounts that want a second source on high-velocity items, but the base business stays where it is.
How do you verify availability?
We confirm on-hand quantity, lot dating, and ship point with the source before a price goes on the quote. Screens say a lot of things; we call.
Do you buy inventory for me ahead of time?
For health systems and large accounts with an open PO or standing order, yes: we hold high-velocity items in Edina against that commitment. We do not pre-buy inventory on speculation.
What about Rx-only devices?
Prescription-labeled devices are supplied to licensed practitioners and facilities, or on a practitioner's written order, after we verify the license or prescription. They are quoted, not sold online.
What documentation comes with a sourced item?
Lot, expiration, country of origin, certificate of conformance, IFU, and FDA registration or 510(k) references where applicable.
