1 Pricing Offer – Grainger Facility MRO 091422-WWG
Grainger North America’s offer encompasses the entire US and Canada portfolios of maintenance, repair, and operating (MRO) supplies and services with a pricing model that is a comprehensive, robust, and competitive Sourcewell offer. The contract provides Members numerous cost savings opportunities:
• Category Discounts
• Facility MRO Supplies & Equipment Hot List
• Member Market Basket
• General Catalog Discounts
• Large Order and Volume Discounts
• Customer Specific Pricing (CSP)
• Access to all Grainger-Sourcewell Contract Awards and the Pricing Benefits of each
CATEGORY DISCOUNTS: Our North American offer encompasses significant discounting across multiple MRO categories. These category discounts are applied to Grainger North America’s Contract Reference Price (CRP). CRP is market-based, stable and only subject to change three times per year.
When evaluating pricing, it is important to compare “final” product prices, as a larger discount percentage offered by a competitor who has not adopted market- based pricing may not yield a lower final product price.
Differences between the U.S. and Canadian supplier base vary across all product categories so not all Grainger US products, catalog or sourced, are available in Canada.
Grainger continues its efforts to enhance its online search and purchasing experience by incorporating new technology and functionality to its online offering. Accordingly, and at Grainger's so le discretion, product categorization may be modified from time to time to promote clarity and product alignment.
Additionally, there are products that, because of their volatile nature in context of supply, including pricing, demand, and availability, are not eligible for any, including general, category discount.

The offered category discounts are fixed through the life of the contract across the specified MRO categories.
FACILITY MRO SUPPLIES & EQUIPMENT HOT LIST: Grainger North America, through decades of serving government customers, has captured purchasing data reflecting current and relevant product needs to compile its Hot List offer.

Data points such as the number of times an item was purchased, when and how often, how many individual agencies purchased the item, including those items added into an inventory management solution, were scrutinized to prepare the Hot List.
