MiCTA Selects Sprint as an Endorsed National Vendor for Wireless Voice, Cellular, and IP Services

SAGINAW, Mich., July 15 /PRNewswire/ -- MiCTA, a nationwide group purchasing organization, has named Sprint an endorsed national vendor for telecommunications, VoIP, IP, cellular and select specialty services, as well as for designated direct equipment sales to its membership.

"We are very pleased to recognize Sprint as an endorsed national vendor for a comprehensive set of technology services for our membership," said Tim von Hoff, Chief Operating Officer of MiCTA. "Nationally, Sprint has provided our membership with an excellent range of telecommunications and networking services designed especially for organizations in the governmental, business and public sectors. Our membership appreciates the unique combination of value and service that Sprint offers, and we're delighted that Sprint will continue to serve our membership for at least the next two years."

Sprint's designation as an endorsed national vendor is the result of MiCTA's highly competitive bidding process, which is designed to evaluate technology-oriented and telecommunications solutions on behalf of its nationwide membership. Once the process has been completed, MiCTA members may purchase telecommunications and technology-oriented products and services at volume discounts using the MiCTA contract. Besides offering significant cost savings, this approach also eliminates the need for members to conduct their own competitive bidding processes.

"Sprint is always looking for simple and innovative ways to offer the best experience to our higher education customers," said Tim Donahue, vice president of industry solutions at Sprint. "Our relationship with MiCTA will allow us to extend the reach and visibility of our cost-effective wireless solutions portfolio including 3G and 4G to universities across the country."
