22Jun

IRVINE, CA – June 25, 2018– Prudential Overall Supply has won the new agreement with the City of Tucson, providing a Cooperative Agreement through the National IPA.  This agreement covers rental uniform, towel, and mat services that are needed among the public agency sector. This partnership along with the Apparel Services Network will deliver great cost savings and high quality services to all of the National IPA members nationwide.

“Ken Heckman, Senior Vice President of Strategic Partner Development for National IPA added, “National IPA is proud to partner with Prudential Overall Supply. They have a stellar reputation for delivering quality and great value.  We look forward to collaborating with them to serve our primary education, state, local and non-profit agencies.”

National Intergovernmental Purchasing Alliance (National IPA) is a cooperative purchasing organization dedicated to serving public agencies and educational institutions nationwide.

All cooperative agreements available through the National IPA program have been competitively solicited and publicly awarded by a public agency/governmental entity (e.g. state, city, county, public university or school district), utilizing the best public procurement practices, processes and procedures.

The lead agencies are independent of the cooperative allowing the agency to be focused on the best value for the agency. The lead-agency not only prepares the solicitation, but awards, administers and utilizes the agreement for its own needs thereby limiting the award to the supplier that provides the best value to the agency and agencies nationwide.
