Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs) are third-party entities who create and manage contract portfolios which are available to member institutions. These contracts are typically competitively bid, include pricing discounts, and include negotiated favorable terms; they can be used to streamline the procurement process for items when an existing 69ÀÖÔ° contract is not available to cover a procurement need.
The following GPOs typically cover 69ÀÖÔ° procurement requirements and can be leveraged for purchases when a 69ÀÖÔ° contract does not exist.
