NPPGov Public Safety GPO Partners With NAEMT

PRESS RELEASE

NPPGov Public Safety GPO is proud to announce a direct partnership with the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT) to provide competitive cooperative options to NAEMT individual and agency members in the U.S. and Canada.  NPPGov is a leader in public safety cooperative purchasing, including emergency medical services.

NPPGov offers over 100 publicly procured agreements for products and services, and will provide NAEMT members with discount pricing from over 20 vendors, including AT&T FirstNet, Medline, McKesson, Zoll and more. NPPGov owns all their own agreements with most being publicly solicited and awarded by a lead public agency.

“NAEMT is excited to partner directly with NPPGov Public Safety GPO to offer discounts to our EMS agency and individual members which will save them time and money on the products and services they use every day,” said NAEMT President Bruce Evans. “We feel a direct relationship with Public Safety GPO is in the best interest of our members.”

“We see a real need to offer organizations, like the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians, the opportunity to secure national contracted pricing based on the buying power of our 45,000 member organizations,” said Bill DeMars, Executive Director of NPPGov.

Furthermore, NPPGov offers a robust revenue sharing program for qualifying partner organizations. Through the NPPGov share back program, association partners can earn a quarterly revenue share based on what their members spend.

NPPGov Public Safety GPO is a program of NPPGov, a national cooperative procurement organization offering publicly solicited contracts to public safety departments nationwide. NPPGov contracts are created through a public RFP process by a Lead Public Agency, allowing members to "piggyback" on the contracts thus eliminating the need to complete their own RFP process. NPPGov Public Safety GPO staff and legal counsel facilitate the process, providing necessary documentation and support.

NPPGov membership is free with no obligation to purchase. All members have access to a broad range of publicly solicited contracts with discounted pricing, as well as individual discount programs. NPPGov is owned by non-profit hospitals and a substantial portion of proceeds help support medical research at Benaroya Research Institute at Virginia Mason (BRI) in Seattle, WA.
