Benefits of Participating in the Cooperative Purchasing Program Expertise on your side The Cooperative Purchasing team is dedicated to providing you with the best price, quality and service available. Contact us for product quotes, price comparisons, and general purchasing assistance.
Supplement your current purchasing program The cooperative purchasing program is not meant to replace your existing purchasing program. You can use the contracted vendors to supplement your current purchasing program.
Convenient ordering Purchase directly from the vendors and order only what you need, when you need it. This eliminates the need to buy in large quantities and stockpile supplies. Additionally, several of our most commonly used vendors are now available in Express, our new online marketplace.
Volume counts The combined purchasing power of service cooperative members across Minnesota creates substantial discounts on products available from our partnered vendors.
