HOW IT WORKS

Purchasing made easy — here's how

No complicated process. No lengthy bid cycles. Just four simple steps to start saving your organization time and money.

01 | Step One

Find a contract

Browse our vendor directory by category. Every contract has already been competitively bid and approved — so the hard work is done before you arrive.

02 | Step Two

Confirm eligibility

  • K-12 Districts
  • Local Governments
  • Higher Education
  • Non-Profits

If you check one of those boxes, you're eligible.

03 | Step three

Contact your Kentucky rep

Every vendor has a designated Kentucky contact. Reach out directly to get pricing, place an order, or ask questions — no middleman required.

04 | Step four

Purchase with confidence

Reference the AEPA contract number on your purchase order. You're covered — legally compliant, competitively priced, and audit-ready.

That's it. No local RFP. No bid committee. No waiting.
