Digital Procurement Platforms with Related Services for Operational Goods

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, is soliciting proposals for Digital Procurement Platforms with Related Services for Operational Goods under RFP 110426. The objective is to establish master agreements for turn-key solutions involving equipment, products, and services for use by thousands of participating entities, including governmental, education, and nonprofit agencies across the United States and Canada. The scope specifically excludes construction, infrastructure, vehicles, professional consulting, high-threshold technology hardware, and licensed medical supplies. The estimated annual transaction value for all resulting master agreements is 1 billion USD. Proposals must be submitted exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal by November 04, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. Central Time. Award decisions will be based on a two-step process consisting of a responsiveness review followed by a scored evaluation of the highest-scoring proposers. Key evaluation factors include platform governance, compliance support, responsible sourcing, financial viability, and the depth of offered solutions. Resulting master agreements will have an initial term of four years, with the possibility of three additional one-year extensions. Proposers must adhere to applicable safety and industry standards, and those awarded a contract must execute a master agreement that incorporates specific federal grant terms if used for FEMA or other federal purchases.
