The nationwide cooperative purchasing alliance US Communities has announced new contracts to save county governments and other public entities on pharmaceuticals, medical equipment and supplies. US Communities is sponsored by several organizations representing local governments, including NACo.

Premier has been awarded a multi-year contract to provide a pharmaceutical, medical equipment, supplies and distribution program for U.S. Communities. This exclusive contract was awarded through a competitive solicitation process conducted by lead public agency, Dane County, Wisconsin.

Public entities are tasked to save dollars, drive competitive bid processes and manage supplier relationships. To help manage these challenges, Premier has built this comprehensive program for pharmaceuticals (branded, generic and over-the-counter) and medical-surgical supplies. This program will drive savings and efficiencies, while helping you manage your budgets. Premier has partnered with key distribution partners, McKesson Medical-Surgical and AmerisourceBergen to help provide the best products at the lowest prices. Take advantage of immediate savings through this new Premier program.
