STEVENSVILLE, Md. — Heavy duty vehicle lift supplier Stertil-Koni has been awarded a contract from Educational Services Commission of New Jersey (ESCNJ) for the sale of vehicle service lifts and accessories.
The ESCNJ Cooperative System has been in existence since 1977 and has grown to become the largest cooperative pricing system in New Jersey, according to the commission’s website. With over 1,200 members, which include school districts, colleges, universities, municipalities, county governments, housing authorities, libraries, and fire districts, ESCNJ has been tasked with coordinating cost-efficient purchasing opportunities for ESCNJ co-op members, with the goal of limiting the tax burden on New Jersey residents.
The New Jersey State approved co-op number is #65MCESCCPS. Stertil-Koni’s contract, #ESCNJ 18/19-36, runs through Nov. 15, 2020.
School districts, colleges, universities, municipalities, county governments, housing authorities, libraries, fire districts and other governmental entities interested in joining the ESCNJ co-op can do so here. There is no fee to join, and once approved by the state of New Jersey, members can utilize all current and future contracts listed on the co-op website.
“The co-op process makes everyone a winner, most of all, the customer base of ESCNJ,” said Dr. Jean DellAmore, president of Stertil-Koni. “Equally important for ESCNJ, Stertil-Koni has a world-class distributor located in the Garden State of New Jersey, Hoffman Services Inc., with extensive expertise in heavy duty vehicle lifting systems, installation, and service. We look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with ESCNJ.”
