Public Knowledge® (PK) will attend the 2026 NC PEAK Conference from March 31 to April 1 in Raleigh, with the theme Smarter Procurement for Public Good.

We look forward to reconnecting with procurement professionals from across North Carolina. Visit our team at Booth #52 to discuss procurement planning, vendor engagement, and strategies to help agencies manage complex procurements.

Procurement Support Built for Public Sector Needs

Public sector agencies are often asked to do more with limited resources while still delivering meaningful results. PK helps agencies meet these demands through a structured yet flexible procurement methodology that adapts to each organization’s needs.

Our six-step approach helps agencies:

• Strengthen procurement planning and market research
• Improve vendor engagement and communication
• Align procurement strategies with program goals
• Manage costs while maintaining quality and compliance

Through our partnership with Civic Initiatives, we support the NASPO ValuePoint Procurement Acquisition Support Services (PASS) cooperative contract. As a result, public sector organizations gain expanded access to procurement expertise.
