FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MAA Partners with NPPGov
Boston, MA – MAA is proud to announce a direct partnership with NPPGov. NPPGov is a leader in Public Safety cooperative purchasing, including emergency medical services.
Massachusetts Ambulance Association Executive Director Kevin Turner has been working with Mika Kawakami, Association Manager for NPPGov, to provide competitive cooperative options to MAA members.
NPPGov currently offers over 100 publicly procured agreements for products and services, along with a discount program for individual members from over 20 vendors, including AT&T FirstNet, Medline, McKesson, Zoll and more. NPPGov owns all their own agreements with most being publicly solicited and awarded by a Lead Public Agency.
“The Massachusetts Ambulance Association is excited to partner directly with NPPGov to offer our members departmental and individual discounts which will save them time and money on products they use every day,” said MAA Executive Director Kevin Turner. “We feel a direct relationship with NPPGov is in the best interest of our members and the Ambulance and EMS industry.”
“MAA was formed in the 1990’s and serves as the private Ambulance Services Association for the State of Massachusetts. MAA membership represents more than 35 Private Ambulance Services organizations. The association consists of 5 executive board members who act as the voice for Private Ambulance Providers for Emergent, non-Emergent ambulance and Chair Van transportation for both in-state and national issues. The executive board members are tasked with understanding and managing key issues for emergency and non emergency medical services throughout the state.”
“We see a real need to offer organizations, like the Massachusetts Ambulance Association, the opportunity to secure national contracted pricing based on the buying power of our 45,000 member organizations,” said Bill DeMars, Executive Director of NPPGov.
Furthermore, NPPGov offers a robust revenue sharing program for qualifying partner organizations. Through the NPPGov share back program, association partners can earn a quarterly revenue share based on what their members spend.
