Allseating Awarded Contract with Equalis Group
The Partnership Offers Allseating’s Extensive Product Portfolio Through Equalis with Reliable Lead Times and a Lower Price Point
Toronto, ON — July 9, 2024 — Allseating, a leader in the design and development of seating solutions, has earned a publicly procured, competitively solicited contract award #COG-2152A from The Cooperative Council of Governments (CCOG), an Equalis Group Lead Agency. The contract is available to any Equalis members in the United States. Equalis is a member-driven, supplier-centric cooperative purchasing organization that embodies the power of partnership.
Effective January 1, 2024, this partnership offers Allseating’s extensive line of seating products to public entities that are a part of Equalis Group at a faster lead and shipping time at competitively procured pricing. Equalis Master Agreements are established through rigorous and transparent competitive solicitations conducted in accordance with public procurement guidelines. Allseating offers a complete line of seating products on a 5-day quick ship program with standard lead times of 3-4 weeks. Their 12-year warranty program covers all products and their components as well as pre-approved labor costs. The brand’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, communicated through its BIFMA Level®3 certification in the seating category and recent appointment as a Greenhealth Approved supplier, adds sustainable value to purchasing clients seeking to select eco-friendly products and solutions for their spaces.
“We are thrilled to enter into this partnership with Equalis Group,” says Cindy Lawton-Moreby, Vice President of Sales at Allseating. “We are committed to providing flexible seating solutions focused on comfort, versatility, and ergonomics. This collaboration allows us to extend our entire product portfolio to government agencies, municipalities, counties, and educational institutions, ensuring accessibility at a cost-effective price point while enhancing lead times and streamlining shipping processes.”
Equalis Group delivers compliant, publicly procured cooperative agreements that public sector entities, including federal and state agencies, local governments, and educational institutions across the country can utilize to i) quickly acquire the products and services they need; ii) receive better pricing through the collective buying power of Equalis Group Members; and, iii) save time through Equalis Group’s legal and compliant alternative to conducting their resource-consuming solicitation process.
This contract was procured and awarded under the requirements of 2-C.F.R. Part 200, commonly referred to as “Uniform Guidance”. Public sector entities receiving federal grant and award dollars can typically spend those dollars through Equalis Group’s already-procured contracts without having to conduct their own bid or request for proposals (RFP).
“We pride ourselves on our ability to configure solutions that best meet our member’s individual needs, and Allseating’s extensive line of highly customizable seating will enhance that mission,” says David Akers, EVP of Equalis Group. “Committed to comfort, sustainability, and superior customer service, we are confident that Allseating will prove to be a valuable supplier for our members.”
