Purchasing Cooperatives
Palomar Modular Buildings has purchasing agreements in place with several cooperative purchasing organizations that enable their members to buy directly from the manufacturer. Purchasing directly from the manufacturer through a cooperative purchasing agreement removes dealer markups, shortens the procurement cycle, and assures low-bid pricing. Plans can be customized to meet the customer’s specific needs or chosen from a range of floor plans approved by the purchasing cooperatives.
BuyBoard Cooperative Purchasing
The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative was created to increase the purchasing power of government entities and simplify their purchasing by using a customized online purchasing system called BuyBoard. Combining the purchasing power of local governments provides members with the leverage to achieve better pricing on products, equipment, and services they use daily. There is power in numbers, and BuyBoard has delivered vast economies of scale in purchasing products and services to members since 1998.

The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS)

The TIPS purchasing cooperatives have joined together government entities in multiple states to increase their buying power in acquiring products and services, lowering administrative procurement costs, and improving overall business performance at each entity.
