Setting Up Members to Score

Coaches, trainers, and physical education instructors are set to score with a new equipment category through Sourcewell cooperative purchasing.

Four vendors have earned contracts in the Athletic and Physical Equipment category, adding to Sourcewell's diverse line of options and solutions for public agencies, schools, colleges, and universities.

Sourcewell Contract Administrator Kelly Pearson says members from both K-12 and higher education have been seeking contracts for quality equipment vendors, and this category delivers.

“These well-known companies have been serving athletic supplies and physical education equipment needs for decades,” Pearson says. “Rolling out these opportunities is an exciting time for Sourcewell and our members as we continue to add to an already-extensive line up of goods and services for all public agencies.”
