SOLUTIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT

Sourcewell

Navigating government procurement can be challenging. Creating an RFP, evaluating vendors, reviewing responses, and selecting the right partner takes time—especially when your goals are already clear.

Cooperative purchasing removes that burden, giving you a streamlined way to buy the equipment and services you want without the administrative strain.

Government procurement shouldn’t slow down your EV charging goals. With Blink’s cooperative purchasing pathway, you can skip lengthy RFPs, avoid vendor back-and-forth, and get the charging solutions you already know you need—quickly, compliantly, and cost-effectively.

Why Cooperative Purchasing Works

Through cooperative purchasing, public entities can access pre-solicited, competitively bid contracts and purchase directly from approved vendors. This process reduces cost, eliminates redundant procurement work, and provides better pricing through collective purchasing power.

It’s no surprise this approach has become an industry best practice, endorsed by groups such as the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO).

How Sourcewell Supports Government Buyers

Sourcewell is a service cooperative created by the Minnesota legislature as a local unit of government. They have already completed the competitive solicitation process on behalf of more than 50,000 government, education, and nonprofit organizations.

As a participating agency, you simply choose the product or supplier you want—and Sourcewell manages the rest.

There’s no cost to join, no obligation, and no liability. Sourcewell is governed by local elected officials and school board members, ensuring transparency and public oversight.
