Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies (AEPA)

Wilson Education Center is proud to be the AEPA representative for the State of Indiana. Wilson Education Center is also one of the 10 founding members. AEPA’s mission is to cooperatively serve our agency memberships through a continuous effort to explore and solve present and future purchasing needs. Our goals include working on your behalf to secure multi-state volume purchasing contracts that have benefits that are measurable, cost-effective and that continuously exceed our membership’s expectations. AEPA is committed to accomplish this mission by using leading edge technology and futuristic business practices.  AEPA consists of 29 member states who craft contracts and bids competitively that are tailored to meet each state’s specific legal requirements. Awarded contracts are available statewide and facilitated  by one cooperative member agency acting as the contract administrator. They will help you with any questions regarding the contract and provide any support documentation you need in order to purchase off the  contract. Please note that contracts are also available in non-member states through piggyback contract options. 

AEPA’s national buying scope and influence:

• More than $575 million in annual protected purchases 

• Representative of schools serving more than 35 million students 

• Hundreds of years of public sector purchasing experience

All AEPA contracts are available on IAESC Procurement and GovPro.
