What Corporate United does

Corporate United operates as OMNIA Partners, a private group purchasing organization (GPO) founded in 1997 and headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee. The company aggregates purchasing demand from member organizations across K-12 education, higher education, government, nonprofit, enterprise, corporate, private equity, and real estate segments, negotiating volume-based contracts with leading national suppliers across categories including IT, food services, and public safety. Membership is free, and OMNIA monetizes through supplier commissions on transaction volume routed through its cooperative contracts, supplemented by value-added services such as Data & Spend Analytics and dedicated Industry Experts.

The company's core technology asset is OPUS, a free ecommerce platform available in Public Sector and Private Sector variants. OPUS enables members to search across hundreds of cooperative contracts, view real-time product availability and pricing, communicate with suppliers via QuickConnect, and execute multi-supplier purchases through a single login and cart. The supporting ecosystem includes 1,176 competitively solicited contract solutions, Data & Spend Analytics for procurement intelligence, and a supplier partner network that benefits from volume-driven purchasing through the member base. Distribution is hybrid: self-serve digital access via OPUS combined with dedicated account management for enterprise, corporate, and private equity segments.

OMNIA serves 643,657 member locations with reported coverage of 94% of the US population through member agencies, and its membership base exceeds 500,000 across all segments. Annual spend managed is reported at over $30 billion. The company operates with 101–250 employees and is privately held, with Gregg Mylett serving as Chief Executive Officer. Geographically, operations are concentrated in the United States, and the technology/data footprint is anchored by the OPUS platform rather than by AI/ML capabilities.
