FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Global Ground Support Awarded Sourcewell Contract for Airside Ground Support Equipment and Related Services
Olathe, Kansas — April 23rd, 2026 — Global Ground Support, a leading manufacturer of airside ground support equipment, today announced that it has been awarded a national cooperative purchasing contract through Sourcewell, an organization that satisfies the public bidding process through competitively solicited and publicly awarded contracts. With this award, Global Ground Support is now officially recognized as a Sourcewell Awarded Contract Supplier, joining a select group of manufacturers that meet Sourcewell’s rigorous standards for quality, value, and performance.
The contract—covering Airside Ground Support Equipment with related services and solutions—provides Sourcewell’s network of more than 50,000 participating agencies with a streamlined path to procure Global’s industry‑leading equipment and support services. Global is one of six GSE providers awarded this designation.
A Significant Honor and Industry Recognition
“Being selected as a Sourcewell Awarded Supplier is an exceptional honor,” said Tyler Stimac, VP Technical Operations and Contracts at Global Ground Support. “Sourcewell’s evaluation process is highly competitive and deeply focused on quality, reliability, and long-term value. This award reflects our team’s commitment to delivering safe, efficient, and innovative ground support solutions to airports, airlines, and public agencies across North America. It also reinforces the trust placed in us through key partnerships, including our contract with the United States Air Force.”
A Direct Advantage for Sourcewell Participating Agencies
Through this contract, Sourcewell members gain immediate access to Global’s full portfolio of airside equipment—including aircraft deicers, glycol transfer vehicles, glycol recovery vehicles, cabin service units (including hi-lifts), and extensive technical support and solutions—without the need to conduct their own lengthy or resource‑intensive bid processes.
Because Sourcewell has already completed a public, competitive solicitation on behalf of its members, agencies can:
- Purchase directly from Global Ground Support
- Streamlines the procurement process
- Accelerate procurement timelines
- Supports compliant purchasing
- Leverage nationally negotiated pricing and contract terms
This streamlined approach allows airports, municipalities, and other public entities to focus on operational needs rather than administrative hurdles.
