The updated contract, which is extended through July 2028, provides Sourcewell’s network of more than 50,000 member organizations with access to pre-negotiated pricing and terms across Peterbilt’s Class 5-8 commercial electric vehicle offerings.
Streamlining Procurement for Public Fleets
Under the expanded agreement, eligible state, municipal, and educational agencies can source Peterbilt’s on-highway, vocational, and medium-duty battery electric vehicles through Sourcewell’s pre-negotiated terms. This arrangement is designed to help public entities bypass lengthy, independent bidding processes while complying with competitive purchasing rules, allowing government fleets to acquire commercial EVs more rapidly.

The contract remains active through July 2028, providing continuous access for member organizations across the United States and Canada looking to integrate electric commercial vehicles into their municipal and state fleets.
Practical Takeaway
State and municipal fleet managers seeking to acquire commercial electric trucks can utilize the existing Sourcewell cooperative purchasing agreement to streamline procurement and avoid independent bidding delays.
