Sourcewell can help you save time and money by combining the buying power of 50,000 government, education, and non-profit organizations. Simply pick the appropriate contract or vendor—they do the rest.

Sourcewell holds hundreds of competitively solicited cooperative contracts ready for use. Choose from a wide array of products and services, or work with their in-house specialists to find the solution that fits your needs. They award contracts at the manufacturing level, but they can be leveraged locally to support local dealers. Cooperative purchasing is “Procurement conducted by, or on behalf of, one or more Public Procurement Units” as defined by the American Bar Association Model Procurement Code for State and Local Governments.

Sourcewell’s analysts streamline the procurement process by developing RFPs and IFBs for national, competitive solicitations that meet or exceed local requirements. Their rigorous process is continually refined to best meet the needs of participating agencies and allows them to offer exceptional products from nationally acclaimed suppliers like J.A. Larue Inc.
