Cooperative Purchasing
Sprinturf is a verified synthetic turf vendor on Sourcewell, OMNIA Partners, BuyBoard, and TIPS-USA. If your district, city, parks department, or campus belongs to any of these cooperatives, you can piggyback an existing competitive contract and skip a full RFP cycle.
Active Contracts
Each card below shows the contract on file, where it lands hardest geographically, and a direct path to a procurement-trained Sprinturf rep.
Upper Midwest · Plains · National K-12
Sourcewell is a national public-sector cooperative serving more than 50,000 schools, cities, counties, and nonprofits. Headquartered in Staples, Minnesota. Strong in upper-Midwest school districts and parks departments that prefer a single competitively bid national vendor list.
Best fit: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, the Dakotas, and any K-12 district that already runs facilities purchases through Sourcewell.
National · Large Districts · Parks & Rec
OMNIA Partners is the largest cooperative purchasing organization in North America by volume, formed by combining the legacy National IPA and U.S. Communities programs. Backed by competitive lead-agency solicitations from Region 4 ESC and other public agencies.
Best fit: large school districts, county parks departments, and any agency that wants the broadest national footprint of cooperative purchasing tools and lead agencies.
Texas · Sun Belt · School Boards
BuyBoard is the cooperative purchasing program founded by the Texas Association of School Boards. It serves Texas members directly and extends through interlocal agreements to public agencies in 15 additional states. Built around the way Texas school districts already buy.
Best fit: Texas school districts and ISDs, plus public-sector buyers in Oklahoma, Louisiana, New Mexico, Arkansas, and surrounding TASB-aligned states.
Nationwide · Texas-Hosted · All 50 States
The Interlocal Purchasing System is hosted by Region 8 Education Service Center in Pittsburg, Texas. TIPS is open to public-sector entities in all 50 states and is widely used as a TASB-friendly alternative when BuyBoard is not available.
Best fit: Texas plus Sun Belt districts, charter networks, and out-of-state agencies that want a Texas-hosted cooperative without joining a regional consortium.
How to piggyback
No RFP. No re-bid. The cooperative did the competitive work for you.
Identify which of the four cooperatives your entity already belongs to. If your procurement office is not yet a member, joining Sourcewell, OMNIA Partners, BuyBoard, or TIPS-USA is free and takes about 10 minutes online.
Use the contact form, call 877-686-8873, or email your regional rep. A procurement-trained Sprinturf AE responds within one business day with a co-op pricing packet, the live contract documentation, our W-9, and our capability statement.
Most boards approve cooperative purchases without a full RFP because the cooperative already ran a public competitive solicitation. We provide everything legal and procurement need to walk it through committee.
Regional Compatibility
All four contracts are open in all 50 states. Below is where each cooperative shows up most often on Sprinturf invoices, by share, not exclusivity.
| Region | Strongest co-op | Also active | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Texas | BuyBoard / TIPS-USA | OMNIA, Sourcewell | TASB-aligned ISDs default to BuyBoard. Charter networks and out-of-region buyers often run TIPS. |
| Oklahoma / Louisiana / Arkansas | BuyBoard | TIPS, OMNIA | Strong interlocal traction off Texas school-board cooperative agreements. |
| Minnesota / Upper Midwest | Sourcewell | OMNIA | Sourcewell is headquartered in Staples, MN. Local familiarity makes board approval fast. |
| Northeast / Mid-Atlantic | OMNIA Partners | Sourcewell | Large urban districts and county parks departments commonly ride OMNIA national contracts. |
| Southeast | OMNIA Partners | TIPS, Sourcewell | Mixed traction. Florida and Georgia trend OMNIA. Tennessee and Kentucky trend Sourcewell. |
| Mountain West / Southwest | Sourcewell / TIPS | OMNIA | Smaller districts use Sourcewell. Larger Sun Belt districts default to TIPS or OMNIA. |
| West Coast | OMNIA Partners | Sourcewell | California, Oregon, and Washington large districts and parks departments lead with OMNIA. |
| Nationwide / Multi-state | OMNIA Partners | All four | When jurisdiction crosses state lines, OMNIA's lead-agency model is the most portable. |
