Sourcewell
Description
As the leading, national cooperative purchasing organization, Sourcewell facilitates a competitive, public solicitation process and awards purchasing contracts to be utilized by state and local governments, and education agencies throughout the country. Cooperative purchasing contracts promote significant
administrative and time efficiencies, offer compliant access to industry-leading goods and services, and consequential cost savings for efficient stewardship of tax dollars.
Sourcewell’s procurement process is public and open, and fair and competitive—and complies with government contracting requirements while maintaining the transparency and equity required by government purchasing laws throughout the country.
Cooperative purchasing combines buying requirements from multiple governments into a single contract to harness volume discounts and purchasing power. When using cooperative contracts, procurement
teams can negotiate lower prices and reduce procurement time. Public leaders and suppliers both benefit from the broad-based competition and equitable contracts created through cooperative purchasing.
Government leaders and procurement professionals recognize cooperative purchasing as an industry best practice to capture significant savings while meeting the rigorous standards of government procurement.
Sourcewell is a government entity established by the Minnesota legislature to help other governments deliver efficiency through procurement. Use Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contracts to procure products, services, and construction through joint exercise of powers; or through the authority found in cooperative or joint purchasing statutes in all 50 states. Sourcewell contracts are available to any government entity including states, federal government agencies, counties, cities, townships, local
education agencies, special districts, and other public entities.
Over 40,000 cities and other units of governments across the country utilize Sourcewell’s over 700 cooperative purchasing contracts and spend over $10 billion annual through Sourcewell.
