- Peterbilt expanded its Sourcewell cooperative purchasing agreement to include its growing lineup of medium- and heavy-duty battery-electric trucks.
- The Peterbilt-Sourcewell agreement runs through July 2028, giving more than 50,000 member organizations access to competitively solicited contracts with pre-negotiated pricing and terms.
- The expanded contract covers Peterbilt’s full Class 5-8 commercial-truck lineup, including on-highway, vocational and medium-duty battery-electric models.
- Sourcewell performs the competitive process in advance by issuing RFPs, evaluating bids against established criteria and awarding contracts transparently for government, education and nonprofit organizations across the U.S. and Canada.
- Eligible public agencies can streamline procurement through the pre-negotiated route and potentially eliminate their own lengthy bidding process without bypassing competitive rules.
- Erik Johnson, Peterbilt’s assistant general manager of sales and marketing, said the contract helps public-fleet organizations maximize uptime and devote resources to keeping communities running.
Why it matters: More than 50,000 Sourcewell member organizations can use one pre-negotiated purchasing route for Peterbilt’s Class 5-8 lineup and battery-electric options. For government fleets, the agreement can streamline procurement and potentially eliminate separate agency bidding while preserving competitive review and agreed pricing and terms through July 2028.
