Equalis Group Contract: What You Need to Know

As a TUG member, your time is valuable and your resources matter. That’s why we’re excited to highlight one of the most practical member benefits available to you right now; our contract through Equalis Group, a nationally recognized cooperative purchasing organization. 

What Is Equalis?

Equalis Group is a cooperative purchasing organization that competitively solicits, evaluates, and awards contracts on behalf of its members. Rather than each organization navigating a lengthy procurement process on their own, Equalis Group does the heavy lifting so you don’t have to.  

What This Means for You

Simplify RFP Process and Save  

One of the biggest advantages of the Equalis Group contract is simple: you don’t have to go through your own Request for Proposal process to purchase products or services. That means less time, less paperwork, and cost savings that go straight back into your organization. 

Stay Compliant  

Because the Equalis Group contract was competitively bid and awarded, it already meets legal procurement requirements. That means full compliance peace of mind, without the burden of managing it yourself. 

Access New Markets and Grow Your Business

The Equalis Group contract opens doors to the government and public sector market, an arena that can be difficult to break into on your own. For TUG members looking to expand their customer base and increase revenue, this is a significant, often underutilized opportunity. 

Eliminate Redundant Effort

Why should every TUG member have to individually compete for the same contracts? The Equalis Group agreement eliminates that duplication of effort, letting our community move faster and smarter by leveraging shared resources.
