PurchasePros, formerly known as KPC, is a leading procurement solutions provider based in Kentucky with 20 years of industry expertise. PurchasePros currently serves over 900 members and offers trusted procurement solutions, transparent compliance, and strategies to drive efficiency and excellence. Our mission is to empower both schools and organizations to make smart sourcing decisions, garner investment in local communities, and achieve goals.The original business called Kentucky Purchasing Cooperative (KPC) was founded in Kentucky in 2002 as a joint effort of seven of the eight educational service cooperatives to provide procurement solutions to school districts located across the Commonwealth. KPC has been fulfilling its mission of providing top notch bidding and procurement services for over 20 years. As KPC’s success grew, membership expanded beyond the Commonwealth of Kentucky to include over 900 members across 18 states and the District of Columbia (Washington DC). The transformation from KPC to PurchasePros is founded in helping schools and has expanded to helping organizations and businesses nationwide with procurement solutions. The new name PurchasePros symbolizes a commitment to excellence in procurement with the word “Purchase” reflecting the company’s service of providing purchasing solutions across many industries, and “Pros” signifying the professionalism and success that KPC has delivered to members for over 20 years. The new PurchasePros moniker highlights KPC’s long tradition of high-quality industry experience and strong track record of delivering procurement services across its membership base. Members look to us to provide the best value in purchasing while meeting the legal requirements of the Kentucky model procurement code (KRS 45A.345 to 45A.460) which is a gold standard in purchasing compliance.
