Become a Supplier to Native Purchasing Group
NPG connects suppliers to federally recognized tribes, Alaska Native villages and corporations, and tribal enterprises nationwide – across healthcare, gaming, hospitality, retail, convenience, and government. We’re actively recruiting new suppliers, with a standing priority pathway for Native-owned businesses.
Two Ways to Partner with NPG
Choose the Path That Fits Your Business
NPG offers suppliers two distinct ways to bring their products and services to Tribal Nations and Tribal organizations. Depending on the opportunity, your products or services, and the needs of our members, suppliers may partner with NPG through a Cooperative Purchasing Agreement or a GPO Supplier Agreement.
Our team will work with you to determine the pathway that best fits your business and the opportunity.
Track 01
Cooperative Purchasing
Compete for an NPG cooperative purchasing contract designed to serve participating Tribal buyers across our network.
NPG conducts a competitive solicitation and establishes an awarded supplier agreement that eligible NPG members can access for their purchasing needs. This pathway is well suited for suppliers that want to compete for a defined category, product, service, or scope of work while expanding their reach throughout Indian Country.
Supplier Opportunity: One competitively awarded contract can create purchasing opportunities with Tribal Nations and Tribal organizations across the NPG network.
Track 02
GPO Supplier Partnership
Establish a direct supplier relationship with NPG and offer negotiated pricing and purchasing benefits to participating NPG members.
Through the GPO pathway, NPG works directly with your company to negotiate a supplier agreement that may include preferred pricing, discounts, incentives, or other purchasing benefits for participating Tribal Nations and Tribal organizations.
This pathway provides suppliers with an efficient way to introduce their products and services to NPG members while building long-term relationships within the Tribal marketplace.
Supplier Opportunity: Establish one relationship with NPG and make your negotiated purchasing program available across our growing Tribal membership.
