NEW YORK, Nov. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Approval was granted today by the U.S. General Services Administration for online sales of 1000+ Stain Remover, KIND Laundry Products and CLEAN1 Hard Surface to begin on the GSA Advantage website. https://www.gsaadvantage.gov/advantage/main/start_page.do  The manufacturer of these products is Niagara Mist Marketing Ltd., Division of Winning Brands Corporation, (USOTC: WNBD) www.WinningBrands.com.  This online approval follows the recent award of GSA Schedule Contract GS-07F-0052Y for Federal Supply Schedule 073 to Winning Brands.  GSA Advantage online sales required separate prior review of product descriptions and details by the GSA because of the convenient access that the GSA Advantage website provides to a large number of government purchasers.

Winning Brands CEO, Eric Lehner, comments: "With this approval, we should go 'live' on the system this week.  Our rapid implementation of the GSA Advantage online platform demonstrates that Winning Brands is doing the practical work associated with GSA Schedule Contract opportunities.  We are actively engaged.  We are moving forward.  Winning Brands aspires for nothing less than its products to become favourites in their categories.  This is as true for government and military customers as for the public at large.  With this GSA approval for online sales in-hand, Winning Brands will design an extension of its www.1000Plus.ca website to be geared specifically to military and government personnel. This latest approval warrants an entirely new look at Winning Brands by the investment community.  We have shown that we can survive – now we are ready to thrive."

According to the GSA, "Federal government employees may make purchases on GSA Advantage!® using: A government-wide commercial purchase card (GSA SmartPay®); a GSA Activity Address Code (AAC); or a Department of Defense Activity Address Code (DoDAAC). State and local government entities may now use GSA Advantage!® to purchase products and services under both the Cooperative Purchasing Program and the Disaster Recovery Purchasing Program. Payments for state and local government purchases on GSA Advantage!® are limited to credit card payments using a state or local government issued credit card."
