COOPERATIVE PURCHASING
Keystone Purchasing Network (KPN) is responsible for purchasing facility and operational needs such as office supplies, furniture, building supplies, maintenance equipment, and other non-technology-related items.
PEPPM handles the technology side of things, including the purchasing of computers, software, and peripherals. PEPPM has been around since 1982, and its success over the years validates the usefulness of cooperative purchasing.

Summer Is Project Season: How Cooperative Purchasing Helps You Get More Done!
While students and staff enjoy a well-deserved summer break, school business offices, facilities teams, and technology departments are often at their busiest. Summer is the ideal time to complete projects, upgrade technology, refresh learning environments, and prepare for a successful start to the new school year.
The challenge? Time.
With limited weeks between the end of one school year and the beginning of the next, organizations need procurement solutions that help projects move quickly while remaining compliant with purchasing requirements.
That's where cooperative purchasing can help.
Through KPN and PEPPM, schools and public agencies have access to competitively awarded contracts that eliminate the need to conduct their own lengthy bid process. This allows organizations to focus on completing projects rather than managing procurement paperwork.
Whether you're planning:
-
Technology refreshes
-
Classroom upgrades
-
Security enhancements
-
Furniture purchases
-
HVAC improvements
-
Facility renovations
-
Maintenance projects
KPN and PEPPM provide access to trusted vendors and competitively solicited contracts that can help save valuable time during the busy summer season.
As you prepare for the upcoming school year, consider how cooperative purchasing can help your organization complete projects faster, maximize resources, and start the fall with confidence.
Learn more about available contracts and purchasing solutions at www.theKPN.org and www.PEPPM.org.
