Single Source Procurement
Single Source Procurement supplies purchasing expertise to companies without a purchasing department. By developing supply agreements with various vendors, we can save the customer money. The goal is to charge a fee and still not to impact the price to the customer. If the goal is not met, there is no fee attached.
