The Pennsylvania State Association of Township Commissioners (PSATC) and PennBid have announced a strategic partnership to enhance the member experience and drive efficiency in Pennsylvania local government.
“We are excited to launch our newest initiative with PennBid, Pennsylvania’s leader in public bid management,” said PSATC President Todd A. Miller. “PennBid’s platform drives efficiencies for First Class Townships and ensures the best use of taxpayer resources.”
PennBid streamlines the sealed bid process with a web-based platform designed to save time and resources used by thousands of local governments. The service is provided at no cost to local governments by leveraging the largest network of service providers in North America.
“PennBid is pleased to partner with PSATC to provide our services to First Class Townships in Pennsylvania,” said Freddy Lutz, PennBid Principal. “The PennBid online platform enhances the efficiencies for local governments through accessing a network of public service vendors through a safe and secure web-based service, all at no cost.”
This collaboration is part of the preferred partnership program of PSATC designed to enhance the value of services provided to the 93 First Class Townships that serve nearly 1.7 Million Pennsylvania’s and annually manage over $1.6 Billion in taxpayer dollars.
PSATC and PennBid also announced a Zoom webinar open to all First-Class Township officials on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, at 7:00 PM. Lutz will present on “Procurement Best Practices,” including how townships can use the PennBid Program to meet bid requirements, strengthen best practices, and achieve better results in today’s changing environment. From construction projects, to commodity purchase, and professional service RFP’s, this interactive session will reveal the valuable tools and services available to manage virtually any opportunity quickly and efficiently.
