FAQs

Your questions about cooperative and group purchasing, answered.

Cooperative purchasing involves organizations joining together to leverage collective buying power and access pre-negotiated contracts, meeting both procurement and legal requirements.

  1. A public agency (“lead agency”) issues a competitive solicitation and awards a contract to suppliers like Trane through a transparent RFP process.
  2. Other eligible organizations gain access to these pre-negotiated contracts, bypassing the need for individual RFPs or bids.
  3. Trane completes required vendor approvals in advance, ensuring compliance and readiness for any project type—from equipment and controls to rentals, energy services, and building maintenance.

A group purchasing organization is a formal entity that consolidates the purchasing requirements of its members to secure optimal pricing and terms from suppliers.

Group purchasing advantages include better pricing, enhanced supplier competition, streamlined processes, and improved access to rebates and incentives.

Most states have statutes allowing cooperative purchasing. Reach out to our team to confirm your eligibility.
