Sourcewell Master Agreement 012026 establishes a cooperative purchasing solution for Airside Ground Support Equipment and related services, awarded to Textron Ground Support Equipment Inc. and other selected vendors. This agreement is designed to provide governmental, educational, nonprofit, and tribal agencies across the United States and Canada with streamlined access to essential aviation equipment, including pushback tractors, baggage and cargo tractors, belt loaders, deicers, air start units, GPUs, hydraulic power units, fueling vehicles, and maintenance stands. Beyond hardware, the scope encompasses complementary solutions such as OEM-certified training, 24/7 technical support, warranty coverage, telematics, and leasing options. The contract was initiated via a competitive solicitation process that concluded with proposal openings on January 20, 2026, and board ratification on April 16, 2026. The agreement has an initial term of four years, with the possibility of extensions up to a total of seven years. As a cooperative procurement vehicle, the contract does not have a fixed total value but instead utilizes a master agreement structure where participating entities place individual orders based on negotiated pricing and volume discounts. Performance is governed by Sourcewell's procurement policies and Minnesota Statutes, with the official place of performance designated as Minnesota, although equipment and services are deployed to participating agencies throughout North America.
