Cooperative purchasing is when public entities have the ability to select the equipment, turnkey solution requirements, and services needed while satisfying the public bidding process. We work closely with entities such as OMNIA, Sourcewell, and TIPS to ensure that our public sector customers are aware of their options and suited for success.
This includes the prioritization of:
- Quality Assurance
- Compliance with Legal Standards
- Access to a Diverse Range of Expert Support
- And More!
