Cooperative Purchasing
Through TIPS-USA and Duro-Last, Ryan Roofing offers eligible organizations a streamlined, cost-effective way to complete roofing projects using pre-approved contracts and expert installation.
WHAT IS COOPERATIVE PURCHASING?
Cooperative purchasing is defined as a large group of entities that join together to procure goods and services. By doing so, they reduce administrative workload and simplify compliance with procurement regulations.
Instead of navigating the traditional, time-consuming process of proposals, bids, and contracts, cooperative purchasing lets you tap into pre-negotiated agreements. These cooperatives work with approved vendors and offer contracts that eligible agencies can "piggyback" on—speeding up the procurement process and ensuring cost-effective, compliant solutions.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
Cooperative purchasing groups generally provide their services to a range of organizations, including K-12 schools, higher education institutions, cities, counties, non-profits, and various government agencies.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Cooperative purchasing ensures your project is managed by a knowledgeable team from start to finish. The Cooperative (TIPS) handles the heavy lifting—conducting RFPs, setting requirements, and finalizing vendor terms through the TIPS-USA contract. From there, the vendor (Duro-Last) reviews your specific project proposal and collaborates with Ryan Roofing, your trusted local installer, to complete the work.
You’ll have clarity and confidence at every stage—no hidden costs, and expert guidance throughout. This all-in-one approach simplifies procurement and delivers top-quality roofing solutions at a clearly defined price.
