AEA Purchasing is also a participating member of the Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies (AEPA). AEPA is a non-profit, multi-state purchasing organization that enables schools of all sizes to purchase at equal buying levels. Being a part of this unique group allows our eligible clients in Iowa to benefit from reduced pricing from national vendors. Contracts are "nationally bid...locally awarded."
