    With Sourcewell’s cooperative purchasing program, the procurement process is streamlined. The procurement team takes care of the entire competitive solicitation process by carefully and rigorously vetting each contracted vendor through an 8-step solicitation process. All you need to do is find a contracted vendor you like, obtain a quote, and finalize the sale.

    Doosan Day of Community Service

    Doosan and Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful

    Group photo of DIVACEvery year, Doosan Corporation holds a day of service around the globe, helping local communities grow and prosper. This year, Doosan Industrial Vehicle of America Corporation (DIVAC) worked with Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful to clean a road and a stream near the DIVAC headquarters in Buford, Georgia.

    As DIVAC celebrates our 50th Anniversary, Gwinnett celebrates their 200th Anniversary. It was a pleasure partnering in a county with such a rich history, and working to keep the nature of Gwinnett beautiful and clean, as it should be. DIVAC cleaned near Ivy Tributary off of Plunkett Road. Additionally, DIVAC cleaned the parts of Mall of Georgia Blvd and Sunny Hill Road. DIVAC successfully collected 22 bags, collecting a rough total of 440 pounds of trash.

    “Having the opportunity to participate in our Doosan Day of Community Service was an honor and a privilege. Doosan, as a company, has very strong core values that employees get to experience on a daily basis,” Doug Erbeck, Pricing Analyst and volunteer said.”Taking those values out into our community shows how proud Doosan is to be a part of that community and how committed we are to being a good neighbor. It was also a special experience for us, knowing that Doosan employees all over the world were giving back to their communities at the very same time. To be able to pitch in and do our part on a local level while being a part of something much bigger just kind of puts things into perspective. I think all of us involved are already looking forward to volunteering again next year.”

    All in all, it was a beautiful day and DIVAC enjoyed partnering with a community organization that values working and winning together. Doosan Industrial Vehicle America Corporation looks forward to next year’s Doosan Day of Community Service!
