Case Study: Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC) achieves 150% more RFPs and seamless remote procurement with Euna Solutions

PEC Runs Double the RFPs, All While Working from Home

Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC), the largest electrical cooperative in the U.S., faced slow, paper-and-email procurement processes that limited transparency and kept departments from using procurement as a strategic partner. To centralize sourcing and enable remote work during COVID-19, PEC implemented Euna Solutions’ online bidding platform, Euna Procurement.

Euna Solutions delivered a quick, easy-to-use digital procurement solution with built-in evaluation tools and dashboards that boosted supplier adoption and internal visibility. Using Euna Procurement, PEC increased RFP volume by over 150%, saved 8% on a vegetation management contract via a 4-day BAFO, cut average evaluator workload by roughly 75%, and ran same-day procurements (including an 18-hour award) — elevating procurement to a business partner role.
