Cooperative Purchasing
Blue Bird also offers an exclusive and complimentary purchasing cooperative for educational entities like school districts, colleges and universities. The program is through Soucewell, formerly National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA).
Sourcewell has 50,000 members just like you, and because of its buying pool, the cost of school buses are substantially lower. Instead of going out to bid or purchasing your buses individually, you use the buying power of a government agency’s national contract.
Blue Bird has an exclusive contract with Sourcewell.
Applying is easy:
- If you’re not a Sourcewell member, you can join for free with no obligation at Sourcewell's website
- Once you are a member, visit your local Blue Bird dealer and ask for a quote using the Sourcewell contract
- Once you have received your quote, simply cut your purchase order to your Blue Bird dealer
