Equalis Group
About Equalis Group
Equalis Group is a national cooperative purchasing organization that provides contracts competitively solicited by public agencies (Lead Agencies) for a wide array of products and services. Equalis Master Agreements are established through competitive solicitations conducted in accordance with public procurement guidelines ensuring members stay in compliance.
Equalis works hand-in-hand with its members and Lead Agencies to develop and deliver industry-leading solutions from highly qualified and experienced suppliers, including The United Group.
Master Agreement Procurement Process
The Cooperative Council of Governments (CCOG), an Equalis lead agency, conducted a rigorous and transparent competitive public sector procurement process for Janitorial and Sanitation Supplies and Equipment. CCOG evaluated each response on both qualitative and cost criteria and awarded a contract to The United Group as the responsible offeror whose proposal is most advantageous.
This contract was procured and awarded in accordance with the requirements of 2-C.F.R. Part 200, commonly referred to as “Uniform Guidance”, so you can spend federal grant and award dollars through this contract vehicle without having to conduct your own bid or request for proposals (RFP) for our janitorial and sanitation supplies and equipment.
