Simplify Purchasing Through TIPS
A cooperative purchasing pathway for eligible education, government, healthcare, and nonprofit organizations.
BodyBilt helps participating organizations purchase ergonomic seating and workplace solutions through The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS). Our team can help confirm the appropriate purchasing pathway, prepare a quote, and coordinate the documentation needed for your procurement process.
Why Purchase Through TIPS

For eligible members, an awarded cooperative contract can provide a more efficient route to products and services while supporting local procurement requirements. Each organization remains responsible for confirming that its purchase complies with its own policies and applicable law.
