Announcing Illinois Together, Illinois ASBO's new purchasing cooperative

Illinois Together is the new purchasing cooperative created and owned by the Illinois Association of School Business Officials (Illinois ASBO) as a benefit for its members.

This purchasing cooperative is designed to help Illinois K-12 school districts turn their upcoming bids into shared contracts, creating more value for their schools while strengthening the purchasing power of their peers across the state.

Illinois Together is designed so that when one Illinois school district bids, all districts can benefit, turning individual and joint bids into competitively awarded contracts that every member can use, multiplying value and strengthening purchasing power statewide.

Built for IASBO members, by IASBO members, this initiative helps:

- Streamline purchasing for member districts

- Amplify purchasing power through community contracts bid in Illinois

- Strengthen the collective impact of over 600+ member districts

- Support local businesses and sales teams across the state

At Bespoke Community, we’re honored to power Illinois Together and proud to support Illinois ASBO in building a program that reflects its commitment to efficiency, collaboration, and member-driven innovation.

Illinois ASBO members: Explore contracts already available through Illinois Together and turn your upcoming bids into joint procurements that save time and money.
