XL EagleOMNIA Partners (OMNIA Partners, Public Sector)
OMNIA Partners stands for OMNIA Partners, Public Sector. OMNIA Partners is a cooperative purchasing organization. On the public sector side, a lead public agency runs the competitive solicitation and awards the contract, and OMNIA Partners makes that contract available to other public agencies to use.
Buyers such as cities, counties, school districts, and universities register to use the contracts. Supplier contracts cover a wide range of products and services, from office supplies to facility maintenance and technology.
Why it matters to a small contractor
As with other co-ops, many OMNIA Partners suppliers use local subcontractors and dealers to deliver work. If a national supplier holds a contract in your trade, ask about becoming a local service partner.
Example
A county uses an OMNIA Partners contract for roofing materials and services. The national contract holder subcontracts the actual roof replacement on a county garage to a local roofing company.

Who actually awards OMNIA Partners public sector contracts?
