County establishes Walmart Business contract through Omnia Partners/NCPA to streamline purchases
Summary
The board authorized Sedgwick County to use Walmart Business via Omnia Partners/NCPA (Contract 15-02, Region 14 ESC TX) through Aug. 31, 2026, with two one-year renewal options; Purchasing highlighted in-store/online ordering, spend controls and tax-exempt shopping benefits.
Sedgwick County authorized a contract with Walmart Business under a cooperative purchasing agreement (Omnia Partners / NCPA contract No. 15-02, Region 14 ESC, TX) effective through Aug. 31, 2026, with two optional one-year renewals. Britt Rosencutter, presenting for various departments, said the national contract provides options for in-store, online and mobile shopping, assisted onboarding, bulk ordering, free shipping from distribution centers and tax-exempt shopping for eligible organizations. "Walmart Business was awarded a competitively solicited contract, which established a national contract for retail and wholesale merchandise products and services," Rosencutter said.
Board members asked whether departments could use Walmart in place of existing suppliers such as Staples; Purchasing said departments would retain options to use either vendor and that staff are looking to provide a 'punch out' option for Walmart for easier ordering. The board approved the contract and the two optional renewals as presented.
