Aries Building System LLC. is a proud vendor for Allied States Cooperative, a.k.a. the ESC-Region 19 Purchasing. The ESC-Region 19 is a national governmental purchasing cooperative that bids and awards contracts to vendors at every level that comply with local, state, and federal procurement laws and regulations. They focus on contracts available to public schools, charter schools, private schools, community colleges, universities, cities, counties, other governmental agencies, and nonprofits.
The role of the organization is to aid teachers and administrators in the El Paso, Texas area by linking the districts and charter schools they serve and the Texas Education Agency (the administrative unit of the Texas public education system). So… why is it important for Aries to be a vendor of this Cooperative? Let us give a detailed explanation of Allied States and the benefits/advantages it provides for its customers… and you will see why.
What exactly does Allied States Cooperative (ESC Region-19) do? Why be a vendor?
The mission of Allied States Cooperative says they are, “…committed to ensuring success for all students by providing quality services to all educational partners in our region through a continuous improvement process.” As mentioned before, Choice Partners offers procurement and contract solutions to meet educational purchasing requirements. This means that the organization completes the legal, competitively-bid procurement process so that their members can instantly access contracts.
This can be for anything from food contracts to technology products or even facilities planning & facility contracts. The latter is the category Aries falls under. We help with repair, remediation, renovation and remodeling of facilities.
As a vendor, Aries puts out bids to work with these members and provide them with any modular building needs they may have. It allows members direct access to our products without having to jump through the government regulation hoops.
Advantages for members and vendors
Because the contracts are already competitively procured, members are able to make purchases quicker, therefore creating more business opportunity for Aries. The quick turnaround time for getting the contracts squared away means Aries can work with more organizations, within a wider range of industries.
Allied States Cooperative is just one of many cooperative memberships that Aries is a vendor for; check out our ‘Purchasing Contracts’ for more details.
