Best Value Public Sector Cooperative Purchasing
Axia Cooperative delivers the best value in cooperative purchasing agreements to public agencies across America.
Compliance
Compliance comes first with Axia. We partner with the most trusted Lead Public Agencies, those that ensure that every procurement follows a documented process to the letter of the law. You can trust that we then leverage our decades of national cooperative purchasing experience to ensure procedural compliance in all 50 states. Learn More About The Contracting Process >>
Transparency
If you leverage a contract publicly solicited and awarded by another agency, you need to know that a procurement process similar to yours was followed, and that the best possible value was achieved in the process. You achieve that by performing due diligence on the contract documents. As they are public record, Axia provides those for anyone to view. View Contract Documents >
Best Value
Can a single procurement entity, whether it’s an agency or a cooperative purchasing organization, legitimately claim that it will always get the best price for the product or service procured? The answer is absolutely not. No supplier would (or could) honor that. Instead, Axia works with our lead agencies to produce contracts that provide the best overall value.
Contracting Process
Each Lead Public Agency follows their own process to develop, advertise, solicit, evaluate and award contracts. See each individual solicitation, either on our Solicitations page or on the respective Contract documentation page, for details on the specific process followed.
However, all contracts in the Axia portfolio do follow certain guidelines. Click below to learn more.
Why Axia?
Many of today’s cooperative organizations focus more on the number of suppliers they can award versus the value their agreements bring to the agencies they serve. Our Commitment is to provide your agency with measurable savings through a transparent procurement process you can trust. Axia Cooperative leverages the knowledge and experience of public procurement leaders along with three decades of experience developing cooperative contracts to provide strategic solutions that meet today’s procurement challenges.
Our Lead Agencies
The people behind the publicly solicited and awarded agreements you utilize are the most important aspect to a cooperative purchasing program. We hand-pick each lead public agency based on our knowledge of public procurement leaders and our relationships with those making waves in the industry. Meet The Lead Public Agencies >
