- Peterbilt expanded its cooperative purchasing agreement with Sourcewell to include the truckmaker’s growing lineup of medium- and heavy-duty battery-electric trucks, with the contract extended through July 2028.
- Sourcewell gives more than 50,000 member organizations access to competitively solicited contracts with pre-negotiated pricing and terms across Peterbilt’s full lineup of Class 5–8 commercial trucks.
- Sourcewell lets eligible agencies procure Peterbilt on-highway, vocational and medium-duty BEVs through the pre-negotiated agreement, potentially eliminating their need to run a separate, lengthy bidding process.
- Sourcewell publishes RFPs, solicits and evaluates bids, then awards contracts through a transparent, auditable process, so agencies can rely on completed competitive procurement rather than bypass bidding rules.
- Erik Johnson, Peterbilt’s assistant general manager for sales and marketing, said adding EVs and eliminating lengthy bidding helps public organizations maximize uptime and devote resources to keeping their communities running.
Why it matters: State and municipal fleets among Sourcewell’s 50,000-plus member organizations can use pre-negotiated terms for Peterbilt’s Class 5–8 BEVs, streamlining procurement rather than launching their own lengthy bidding cycle. The July 2028 deal preserves Sourcewell’s competitive, auditable process while giving agencies a shorter route to acquire electric trucks.
