John Deere was recently awarded a three-year construction equipment contract by the National Purchasing Partners Government Division, a cooperative purchasing organization that services public and nonprofit markets by providing access to contracts created through a request for proposal process conducted by a lead public agency. The cooperative contract includes the manufacturer’s full line of construction equipment and commercial worksite products, and already satisfies the bid process, helping organizations in the United States acquire the equipment they need.
According to Deere, the company is the only original equipment manufacturer to recently receive the award.
To utilize the contract, organizations must be NPPGov members.
“Cooperative purchasing is the way of the future for many state and local government agencies and nonprofit organizations, and we’re looking forward to offering our robust line of construction equipment to NPPGov members,” said Mark Deakyne, state contract manager, John Deere Construction & Forestry. “The contract simplifies equipment purchasing while complying with procurement requirements, providing organizations peace of mind when purchasing their next piece of construction equipment.”
NPPGov is the government division of National Purchasing Partners, which serves as a nationwide channel to offer publicly awarded agreements to public entities. NPP is a private company owned by Virginia Mason, a nonprofit hospital in Seattle.
