History of WCIESC-CBP (Cooperative Bid Program)
1998 marked the beginning of West Central IN Educational Service Center providing food bids for our member schools. This option allows our schools the opportunity to purchase products at a volume discount as a cooperative purchasing group. The Service Center prepares the bid and saves the corporations all the expense and work of the process.
