Twenty-four U.S. Navy installations gained access to Sourcewell’s cooperative purchasing program under Phase II of an Intergovernmental Support Agreement between the Minnesota local-government agency and the Department of the Navy.

The expansion brings the total number of Navy and Marine Corps installations authorized to use the program to 31. The original six-installation pilot launched in October 2024 under a Phase I IGSA, with those sites using Sourcewell’s Military Support Program to procure equipment, supplies and services for operations and maintenance. Task orders run through operations and maintenance funding and are fulfilled against Sourcewell’s portfolio of competitively awarded suppliers.

“This next phase represents a significant milestone in our partnership with the Department of the Navy,” said Chad Coauette, CEO of Sourcewell. “We’re here to support their mission by making sure installations can rely on a steady, trusted path to the resources they need.”

Sourcewell is authorized under 10 U.S.C. § 2679 to provide installation support services and functions as a government-to-government partner of the U.S. Army, Department of the Navy and U.S. Army Reserve. Its cooperative purchasing network serves more than 50,000 public agencies across the United States and Canada.

A Phase III expansion covering all remaining Navy and Marine Corps installations is planned, with timing to be set jointly by the Department of the Navy and Sourcewell.

“Phase I allowed us to validate the process and refine how task orders are developed and executed,” said Randy Fuss, Senior Director of Sourcewell’s Military Support Program. “As we move into Phase II, our focus is on scaling that execution—ensuring installations can consistently access the support they need while maintaining the standards established during the pilot.”
