Born on the factory floor, built for every business.
Group Purchasing Solutions began inside a consortium of high-tech manufacturing and engineering firms that aggregated their common spend to command better pricing. For over a decade, that insider's perspective has shaped how we work: programs designed around what members actually buy, suppliers held to the service levels industry demands.
Today GPS delivers national buying power to construction, manufacturing, and multifamily businesses — alongside associations, nonprofits, and companies of every kind. Through our national group purchasing partnerships, members tap into a portfolio spanning 460,000+ products and services from 1,600+ manufacturers, backed by $84B+ in annual purchasing volume.
What hasn't changed is the model: membership is free, participation is voluntary, and pricing is transparent enough to verify yourself.
Five commitments to every member.
Supply
Deliver real savings through a deep, pre-competed contract portfolio.
Simplify
Take RFPs, negotiations, and vendor management off your team's plate.
Connect
Link members to programs that combat shortages and forecasting challenges.
Improve
Audit invoices and report savings so value is proven, not promised.
Partner
Work strategically with manufacturers so contracts keep getting better.
And one promise
No markups. No re-selling. Members see the actual negotiated pricing and terms — always.
Scale delivered through GPS's national group purchasing partnerships.
We go straight to the market's "A" players.
When GPS selects a category, we go directly to a market leader to understand where we can support their corporate objectives. The relationships we establish create the foundation for comprehensive, direct pricing agreements members can participate in knowing their needs are fully addressed — and yearly category RFPs become a thing of the past.
Our success stems from supplier partners trusting us to truly support their growth. That trust earns members higher pricing discounts and specialized service terms usually reserved for huge enterprise customers. Contracts are competed through formal RFP events, evaluated on pricing, service capability, compliance, and total value — with member-led sourcing committees providing governance, so awards reflect real member needs, not supplier influence.
- Bids evaluated on total value, not just unit price
- Member committees decide preferred and sole-source awards
- Suppliers attest to most-favored-nation pricing terms
- Every price-increase request is formally reviewed, documented, and negotiated
