In 2025, the global marketplace continues to be shaped by unpredictable tariffs, freight bottlenecks, and manufacturing slowdowns. For organizations that depend on steady procurement — whether a city upgrading infrastructure, a university expanding its classrooms, or a casino investing in new security systems — these factors can quickly derail budgets and project schedules. Price increases on raw materials, shifting import rules, and extended lead times have made it harder than ever for purchasing teams to secure equipment on time and within budget. Staying ahead now requires more than simply comparing quotes — it demands a strategic sourcing partner who understands how to navigate volatility.
Recent tariff adjustments on electronics, steel, and IT hardware have already led many manufacturers to revise their pricing several times this year. Add to that a tight logistics market, and it’s easy to see why so many institutions are struggling to get products when they need them. The ripple effect reaches everyone: schools waiting on smart displays or lab equipment, counties seeking public-safety technology, and tribal resorts coordinating complex renovation timelines. When these disruptions hit, even well-planned bids and budgets can fall apart.
