What Our Members Say

Michael Logan, C.P.M., Director of Purchasing & Contracts, UNC Greensboro

UNC Greensboro regularly relies on E&I contracts to provide time and cost efficiencies. Before going out to bid, they check the state of North Carolina and UNC System agreements, then check with E&I. Some of the most extensively used contracts on campus are Steelcase and Lowe’s.

“It’s a no-brainer for a higher ed institution to take advantage of what E&I offers. They are here to help you with a large portfolio of contracts that you begin using immediately. As a procurement professional, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.”
