The best pricing available
“Una is a valued business partner. Because of Una’s purchasing power, we’re able to offer our seventeen non-profit member colleges and universities the best pricing on many goods and services, thus saving valuable procurement time and dollars.”Real savings, right away
“We’ve been using Una’s shipping program since April 2015. Getting started was easy. When we signed up, we had about $140,000 a year in shipping spend, and I know Una has reduced that by at least $25,000. The shipping program was a no-brainer for us.
A true partner
“It’s always nice to find like-minded business partners who are continually striving to make a difference in the procurement space.Una is doing just that.”
More from our valued members...
“Una has been a great partner and resource for our operations teams. As we have implemented the Una food program, their team has both consolidated our order guide and provided us significant savings opportunities.
The transition has been well coordinated, pricing is completely transparent, and the service has been excellent. We appreciate all your support and look forward to continuing this successful partnership.”
Keith O'Neill

“The Una folks have been fantastic to work with! They understand the challenges our members face and share our values as an organization. I continue to hear how much money participating organizations are saving with Una and urge everyone to give them a try. After all, why spend more than you have to in these difficult times?“
Stephen L. Vinson
President & CEO, United Methodist Association
“We’ve been using the shipping program about a year; we love it. Before we went through the post office, but this is much easier. The pickups are great, and we’re saving 30-40% on our shipping spend. We use it for everything, transferring borrowed units, ordering equipment, overnighting paperwork. We really enjoy and appreciate this program.”
Brian Galowitz
Minnesota Ambulance Manager, Lakes Regions EMS
“We’ve been working with Una since April 2014, using Una’s US Foods program. It’s consolidated our order guide and assisted with food selection and savings opportunities. They make ordering easy with their user-friendly online ordering system, and our US Foods Account Manager has met with us in person to go over products and make sure we have the best possible experience. We appreciate all the support US Foods and Una have provided us with, and we look forward to continuing this successful partnership.”
