Cooperative Purchasing
For Government, Educational, and Non-Profit Contracts
Institutional artificial turf buyers often want Goat Turf products and installation services but can’t move forward without conducting their own formal bidding. This process – which includes market research, drafting specifications, advertising bids, vetting bidders, conducting interviews, and more – can take considerable time and effort. And when the bidding is complete, entities sometimes get stuck with products and service providers that they did not want.
There’s a better way to do business!
Goat Turf offers cooperative purchasing to state and government entities, schools and universities, and non-profit organizations through our affiliation with Sourcewell and a host of other co-ops. Through these strategic affiliations, your organization can purchase premium SYNLawn synthetic grass products and services from Goat Turf without conducting the costly and time consuming bid process.
Co-Ops Allow You to Get the Products You Want from the Vendors You Trust

Advantages of Co-Op Purchasing
“Co-ops ensure that member vendors like Goat Turf are fully vetted before awarding contracts to public agencies. As a result, state and local government entities, public and private educational institutions, and tax-exempt non-profit organizations can bypass the bidding process and get the products they want from the vendors they prefer and trust.”
