Cooperative purchasing

The bid process, already done.

Brixner holds active status under eight cooperative contract and GPO vehicles. Government agencies, schools, healthcare organizations, and nonprofits reference a contract number and purchase directly — compliant, pre-negotiated, and weeks faster than an independent RFP.

How it works

Skip the bid process. Use a contract.

Government agencies, school districts, universities, healthcare organizations, and qualifying nonprofits are typically required to use a competitive bid process when purchasing above a certain dollar threshold. Cooperative purchasing contracts satisfy that requirement — without the cost and administrative burden of running an independent RFP.

Each cooperative contract is awarded through a rigorous solicitation conducted by a lead agency. Once awarded, any eligible member organization can purchase directly at the pre-established pricing and terms.

Brixner Office Furniture holds active status under eight widely accepted cooperative contract and GPO vehicles used throughout Florida and nationally.
