Cooperative Purchasing
Premier Sports Lighting partners with The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS), a national cooperative that simplifies the procurement process for eligible organizations like schools, cities, universities, and nonprofits. Through TIPS, members can save time and money, as the competitive bid process is already completed. This allows you to choose your preferred vendor and manage the purchase your way, with TIPS available to assist and confirm pricing. Membership is free, and TIPS contracts are valid in all 50 states.
