National Service Alliance (NSA)
About NSA
National Service Alliance (NSA) was built within the commercial cleaning industry to simplify how businesses manage purchasing, suppliers, and pricing. For over 30 years, we’ve helped building service contractors save time and get more value from their spend.
Through NSA membership, you gain access to established supplier programs, national agreements, and a network of trusted manufacturers and distributors. We handle the negotiation and ongoing management, so you don’t have to, while you continue working with your existing suppliers.
Our three-ring approach reflects how we bring members, suppliers, and distribution partners into alignment. When those relationships are connected, it becomes easier to improve pricing, increase visibility, and make better purchasing decisions.
Benefits for TUG Members, NSA, and TUG Manufacturer Partners
TUG Membership benefits from the relationship with NSA through the utilization of NSA Manufacturer contracts to benefit current and potential Building Service Contracting (BSC) customers.
Manufacturers benefit through the exposure to over 285 TUG Members across the United States to market their product line to NSA Membership and their end-use customers.
