Sunstate Equipment Co. LLC today announced its new cooperative purchasing agreement through Axia Cooperative, expanding access to Sunstate's equipment rental solutions for public agencies.

The competitively solicited agreement for heavy equipment and tool rentals was led and awarded by the City of Tucson, Ariz.

Through the agreement, eligible public-sector organizations can access Sunstate through an established cooperative contract rather than conducting a separate solicitation. Eligible organizations include government agencies, municipalities, school districts, higher education institutions, housing authorities, and other public entities.

"This agreement makes it easier for public agencies to access the equipment and support they need while working through an established procurement solution," said Bryan Kiser, senior vice president sales for Sunstate Equipment. "We're proud to work with Axia Cooperative to bring Sunstate's combination of national capability responsive service and personal partnership to more public-sector organizations."

Since 1977, Sunstate has focused on helping customers keep projects moving through quality equipment, responsive service, and trusted partnerships. Sunstate combines the capabilities of a leading rental company with the accountability, responsiveness, and personal attention of a local partner.

For procurement teams, the cooperative agreement provides a ready-to-use purchasing option under competitively awarded pricing and terms. Participating agencies may also register for Axia Cooperative’s rebate program.

The partnership also supports Sunstate’s broader commitment to making the rental experience easier for customers by connecting strong equipment capabilities with knowledgeable, responsive support.

Public agencies can explore Sunstate’s Axia Cooperative contract and request pricing, while agencies interested in Axia’s rebate program can register for the program.
