Creating Value

- Nearly $55 million in contract sales
- More than 75 percent of MBC membership participates.

For more information, please contact Susan Snyder, Manager of the Purchasing Consortium, at susan.snyder@massbio.org or 617.674.5154.

We choose primary suppliers based on our members' needs through a formal bid process that considers both savings and quality of the overall proposal. These suppliers partner with us to offer our members discounts and rebates, along with high quality service.

We continuously evaluate the need of our members and the existing contracts to ensure that we are delivering the best value. Primary supplier contracts represent the areas in which the majority of MBC companies spend the largest percentage of their purchasing dollars.

"As a start up, we found the discounts from the purchasing programs to be very helpful. We were able to stretch our dollars further by taking advantage of some great deals, which made it easier to get our custom monoclonal antibody business up and running."
