description: CDW provides eProcurement integration to its B2B / public-sector / education / healthcare
  customers via the CDW Catalog API (real-time pricing + inventory) and the CDW eProcurement integration
  surface (PunchOut / cXML / OCI / EDI / electronic invoicing). Both surfaces are integration-only —
  no per-call API pricing is published; access is provisioned under a customer's CDW B2B account, and
  the only invoiced item is the underlying product purchase.
notes: API access is provisioned with the CDW customer account; there is no per-API-call price. Customer
  pays for products purchased through the integration, not for the API itself.
