Cooperative Educational Services (CES) is the leading government purchasing cooperative in New Mexico, providing high quality government procurement resources and solutions to municipal, county, and state governments, school districts and charter schools(K-12), higher education institutions, and nonprofits looking for the best overall supplier pricing and quality cooperative services.  Visit our webpage at www.ces.org. 

Founded in  1979, CES is a Purchasing Cooperative united by a Joint Powers Agreement to aid Public Schools in New Mexico.  We aspire to be known as one of the best educational service agencies in the country and the program of choice in New Mexico.  CES is an organization comprised of New Mexico's 89 school districts plus many other public education institutions, including charter schools, two and four-year post-secondary institutions, BIE schools and state schools.  CES also serves cities, counties, municipalities, and qualifying nonprofits.

We save our participants significant amounts of time and money by soliciting bids and proposals and awarding contracts on their behalf. CES’ members and participating entities also have the guarantee that the prices received from our authorized procurement partners are the lowest available from those procurement partners.

CES Ancillary Services employs a variety of therapists to work in the Special Education Departments of the schools of NM.  We currently employ about 260 therapists and serve over 100 Districts and Charters in our home State of New Mexico.  Income from CES does not affect our therapists'​ ERB retirement, making it possible for us to employ quality and experience more easily!

There are a number of other services provided by CES to its members.  Follow CES on LinkedIn to see periodic postings!
