BPCA membership is limited to non-competing, independently-owned corporations, partnerships, or firms actively engaged in the distribution of office products and systems and whose total annual revenue exceeds $5 million as of their last reported fiscal year.

• All companies applying for membership must be of good reputation and of sound financial condition.
• All companies applying must not conflict with the geographic territory of existing members. 
• Applications for membership shall be restricted to independent dealers having 49% or less ownership by any manufacturer or national or publicly held company.
• Immediately after election to membership, each applicant company shall pay proprated dues for the first year.  Dues will be prorated from the effective date of membership through the end of the calendar year.
• All members and new applicants are required to sign a confidentiality form to receive and maintain membership.  This form protects confidential information distributed between dealers.  (No confidential or member information will be sent to new members until confidentiality forms are completed and on file, and dues are paid in full.) 

The BPCA Code of Conduct is built upon a mutual non-solicitation of employees.  As part of the membership in BPCA, members acknowledge that they and their employees will work together in the performance of their responsibilities within the organization and that they will openly share ideas and best practices to encourage cooperation, participation and sharing of information.  Each party agrees that soliciting or attempting to solicit employees from fellow members will not be tolerated.
