Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wholesalers and retailers are intermediaries that buy products from manufacturers or other suppliers and resell them to consumers without reprocessing them.

Also, government agency purchases can be considered organizational buying, but they typically have unique procurement processes and requirements that differentiate them from other types of buyers.
