Cooperative Purchasing
Skipthebid.Keepthebuilderyouwant.
Government, school districts, and non-profits can leverage our pre-vetted cooperative contracts to bypass the traditional bidding process and secure the quality products you prefer from a partner you trust.
Buy through a cooperative contract instead of running your own bid
Institutional artificial turf buyers often want Fielder’s Choice products and installation services, but can’t move forward without conducting their own formal bidding. This process, which includes market research, drafting specifications, advertising bids, vetting bidders, conducting interviews, and more, can take considerable time and effort. And when the bidding is complete, entities sometimes get stuck with products and service providers that they did not want.
Fielder’s Choice offers cooperative purchasing to state and government entities, schools and universities, and non-profit organizations through our affiliation with BuyBoard, TIPS-USA and a host of other co-ops. Through these strategic affiliations, your organization can buy premium synthetic grass products and services from Fielder’s Choice Sports Construction without conducting the costly and time-consuming bid process.
