CommonWealth Purchasing Group, LLC is committed to delivering cost-effective group purchasing pricing and high-level vendor services to its diverse membership. Our contracted network of selected vendors offers cost-saving solutions to the operational demands facing today’s community health centers and related non-profits. For supplies, services, and equipment, CPG members rely on our dedicated vendors.
At CPG, we’re always on the lookout for new vendors to meet our members’ evolving needs. With over 65 contracted vendors and counting, much of CPG’s efforts are directed towards contracting, selecting, and managing affiliate vendors.
At CPG, we welcome proposals from interested vendors. Our vendor selection process includes a thorough review and interview process. This way, we can ensure that each vendor is prepared to deliver the highest level of customer service alongside measurable discounts on group contract prices.
Vendors should present formal written proposals, making sure to include:

Vendors are removed from the CPG portfolio at the close of the contractual period if we’ve witnessed an insufficient level of purchasing activity—or if other member-related issues arise.
At CPG, we prefer vendors who, rather than providing reports, can demonstrate their value to our membership by providing purchasing assistance, assisting in materials management processes, and optimize cost-savings by suggesting lower-cost alternatives during the ordering processes.
Every vendor is expected to offer competitive pricing alongside exemplary customer service. At CPG, we also request monthly sales reports.
As a CPG vendor, there’s no set dollar amount owed. Instead, CPG collects a percentage of each member’s vendor purchases, paid by the vendor on a monthly or quarterly basis. This Administrative Fee accounts for necessary marketing and administrative services.
Most CPG contracts are set for one year, with the option to renew for one additional year.
Although not mandatory, CPG feels that web-based purchasing facilitates efficiency and helps to contain costs for our valued membership.
All vendor contracts are voluntary.
Often, our members make vendor recommendations based on their evolving contractual needs. From time to time, we add new vendors who offer additional value to our membership, and vendors are invited to contact CPG with proposals at any time.
In almost every case, we have only one vendor per category—unless CPG requires more than one to provide satisfactory member services on a national basis.
Each year CPG attends and exhibits at dozens of annual state primary care association meetings, national community health center conferences, and other regional and national organization conferences.
