For public safety organizations, the challenges of procurement are never small. Tight budgets, urgent timelines, and the need for dependable products all put pressure on agencies to do more with less. That’s where cooperative purchasing through the Savvik Buying Group makes a real difference.
With more than 17,000 members nationwide, Savvik leverages the collective buying power of EMS, fire, law enforcement, and nonprofit organizations to secure competitive pricing on essential supplies—from medical and safety gear to everyday office products and operational essentials that keep departments running smoothly. By consolidating hundreds of individual solicitations into a single cooperative process, members save valuable time and reduce costs, without compromising quality or compliance.
Membership is free, and Savvik contracts are publicly bid and legally recognized in all 50 states. That means your agency can access pre-vetted, competitively sourced agreements immediately, streamlining procurement while ensuring every purchase meets industry standards.
But the benefits go beyond savings. A portion of Savvik’s revenue is reinvested into the industry through its Revenue Share program and the Savvik Foundation. These funds support initiatives in safety, education, research, and community paramedicine, helping to strengthen the very organizations that rely on these contracts every day.
Through Savvik, AOPD helps public safety teams spend less time on procurement and more time on what truly matters: protecting and serving their communities, with access to everything from critical response equipment to the office supplies that support their day-to-day operations.
