Kentucky Purchasing Cooperative was established in 2002 as a joint effort of six of the educational service cooperatives located across Kentucky.  KPC provides bidding and procurement services to 300+ members across seven states. For more information on KPC contracts and awarded vendors, please visit the website at www.kpc4me.com.

The Kentucky AEPA program is a cooperative of eight Kentucky Educational Cooperatives working to provide the best value for member districts when making purchases.  Districts can purchase from any of the AEPA contracts knowing they have been solicited locally in Kentucky and fulfill the formal/legal requirements for district purchases.  For more information on any AEPA contract, contact Ann Burden at GRREC at 270-563-2113 or ann.burden@grrec.org.
