There are no minimum purchases required for discounts on most items; however, to begin receiving discounts, you need to order from one of our preferred vendors. There is no requirement on how much volume must be done with Universal Purchasing Association vendors.

Many find it hard to believe, but our mission is to help independent businesses like yours grow. There is no catch. We strive to help independent businesses increase their buying power while increasing profits. Universal Purchasing Association invites all member prospects to contact a vendor or an existing member before joining.

Universal Purchasing Association is independently owned and operated. Universal Purchasing Association's interest is solely in the success of its members. Universal Purchasing Association and its officers have no interests in the market that compete with its members. Universal Purchasing Association has more direct sellers and promotional products vendors than other groups besides uniform and industrial laundry manufacturers. In addition, Universal Purchasing Association provides the same discounts and benefits to all its members for the same fee. We do not differentiate between our members.

With over 20,000 known dealers of uniforms, apparel, and promotional products in the market, Universal Purchasing Association provides its members with the advantages that most groups cannot, including discounts with some the largest brand name: uniform, apparel, promotional products, sportswear, public safety, and medical wear manufacturers in the world. These added advantages are critical when going head-to-head with the largest national competitors.
