The Virginia Sheriffs’ Association (VSA) has awarded Stertil-Koni, a Buy America company, a new purchasing contract for vehicle lifts and garage-related equipment.

The contract, #23-04-0713, is effective through August 14, 2023 and includes Stertil-Koni’s full line of heavy-duty vehicle lifts, related accessories, and shop equipment. This adds to Stertil-Koni’s growing range of cooperative purchasing programs that make the company’s heavy-duty lifting systems, accessories, and shop equipment available for purchase to customers via a centralized process, according to a press release.

“The goal of VSA’s Heavy Equipment Procurement Program is to establish cooperative contracts for use by public bodies in the Commonwealth that achieve competitive pricing on equipment that county and city government agencies purchase," the VSA website said.
