The AIU's joint purchasing programs goal is to obtain quality products and services at the lowest price. Participating school districts purchase materials and supplies while eliminating the costs of the bid procedure. The program assists school districts by preparing specifications, advertising and analyzing bids, conducting bid openings, recommending bid awards, and notifying successful and unsuccessful bidders. In addition, participants save money because of volume-buying.

Listing of joint purchasing programs:

• electricity
• gasoline and diesel fuel
• natural gas
• paper
