SmithCo joins H-GACBuy program

SmithCo Manufacturing Inc., a Le Mars, Iowa-based side dump trailer design and manufacturing company, has been awarded a nationwide cooperative purchasing contract for public works equipment by the Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) Cooperative Purchasing Program, also known as HGACBuy.

For more than 40 years, H-GAC has served local governments and nonprofit organizations, currently serving 49 U.S. states and over 9,800 members. The council’s HGACBuy program allows for collaboration with local governments to provide goods and services through cooperative purchasing.

SmithCo’s contract award was secured through a competitive solicitation process and will allow local governments, district, counties and state agencies across the U.S. to purchase its side dump trailers at pre-negotiated terms.

“This partnership with HGACBuy should streamline the procurement process for government agencies,” Todd Karolczak, SmithCo director of sales and marketing, says. “This contract eliminates the need for agencies to duplicate the competitive bidding process, allowing for easier access to the most popular SmithCo trailers.”
