What We Do
Sourcing Office makes the procurement of goods and services easy for government buyers and the suppliers that serve them. Sourcing Office is committed to:

• Ensuring Compliance: Sourcing Office procures all programs in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code. Through Joint Powers legislation enacted in most states, virtually any public sector organization in the United States can “piggyback” on Sourcing Office contracts.
• Saving Time & Money: Sourcing Office conducts the entire procurement process so our participants do not have to. Each program is delivering 3-30% in savings.
• Implementing a Total Cost of Ownership Approach: Sourcing Office recognizes that the price of a product or service does not necessarily equal the total cost.
• Creating a Triple Win: Sourcing Office aligns the interest of participants, suppliers, and Sourcing Office.
• Matching Programs: Sourcing Office reduces the stress of supplier-customer interactions by working directly with participants to determine which programs are a good fit for each individual participant. We provide a “buffet” of programs; each participant chooses which programs to utilize.
• Monitoring & Managing: Over the life of each contract, Sourcing Office monitors the performance of suppliers and manages the relationships between suppliers and participants.
• Developing a Turn-key Association Programs: Sourcing Office works with existing associations of public sector entities to provide a turn-key, fully-managed group purchasing program for the members of each association partner.
• Driving Down Supplier Costs: Sourcing Office develops contracts to reward optimal customer behavior, reduce customer acquisition costs, lower customer administration costs, and increase customer retention.
