Drive Down Your Costs with Cooperative Contracts

Exert real financial stewardship over procurement, using best-in-class contracts and value-added services from E&I.


ABACC has an exciting strategic partnership with E&I Cooperative Services (E&I), the nation’s only member-owned, not-for-profit sourcing cooperative focused exclusively on education.

The partnership helps ABACC members exert real financial stewardship over their school’s purchase of goods and services and immediately begin using any of E&I’s best-in-class contracts and value-added services (ex: Strategic Spend Assessments, IPRs), resulting in significant benefits including increased cost savings, efficiencies, and spend under contract. E&I is more than savings—it’s an Economic Benefit. 

E&I was established in 1934 and helps drive down costs for colleges and universities like yours by offering the best pricing, terms, and conditions through approximately 200 competitively solicited contracts with top-tier suppliers that span across all of your campus needs.
