Purchasing Group
The Purchasing Group within FEC is comprised of lead purchasing professionals from the FEC Member companies across the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada. Combined, we have the largest buying power in the marketplace for electrical commodities and package procurement with buying power of over $5 billion. Utilizing our purchasing network can be a game-changer in terms of cost efficiency, project quality, and overall peace of mind. By tapping into our network, owners can ensure that the contractors they engage have access to the correct lead times on equipment and the best materials at highly competitive prices, thanks to the collective bargaining power of the network. This can translate into significant cost savings on projects, as contractors are able to pass along these savings without compromising on the quality of materials. Additionally, the network fosters a sense of accountability and reliability among our peer members, as they are often vetted and bound by the standards of the network. This means that owners can expect consistent, high-quality work and timely completion of projects, reducing the risks of delays and cost overruns. Furthermore, a purchasing network often provides access to a wider range of products and cutting-edge technologies, ensuring that the owner's projects benefit from the latest innovations in the electrical industry. The streamlined procurement processes offered by the network also reduce the administrative burden on owners, allowing them to focus on the broader aspects of project management and business growth.
