Abstract—This research begins with the phenomenon of decreasing the sale of Emergency Medical Kit (EMK) products from 2008 to 2013 while the need for this equipment is always increasing in line with frequent disasters, increasing number of hospitals and many more. EMK customers in Indonesia are predominantly governmental agencies or other government-related agencies, where the procurement process of goods and services using E-Purchasing or if not included in the E-Catalog then it will be auction to be transparent and accountable. EMK products have not been included in the E-Catalog. Another constraint is that all equipment in the EMK product must be made using a single brand. Therefore, it takes a competitive advantage model that can increase sales so that opportunities can be utilized properly. Based on this, this study aims to build a model of competitive advantage, especially in the field of EMK and products not included in E-Purchasing. This model is built on the competitive advantage influenced by customer relationship management and business competence through the company's reputation. And how the impact on sales.
