The organization serves regional health systems including Lee Health, Sarasota Memorial Health System, UF Health Central Florida, and Jupiter Medical Center, offering three integrated services: Pharmaceutical Services (custom pharmacy contracting that layers onto national GPO agreements to address drug shortages and high-cost medications), Data Analytics (predictive analytics on purchasing trends and spending patterns), and Agile Sourcing (strategic procurement leveraging aggregated member volume). Day-to-day operations are run by LeeSar Leadership, and member CEOs and clinical leaders sit on the Governing Board.

The data analytics capability processes historical purchasing and spending data to generate predictive models of future product usage and cost trends, which inform both sourcing and pharmacy contracting decisions.

CSF generates revenue through subscription/recurring strategic sourcing services, managed pharmacy contracting services, and recurring data analytics services, billed under multi-year membership contracts with healthcare provider members. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the go-to-market is sales-led, with board-driven member referrals and direct sales into hospital systems as the primary acquisition channels. No external investment, parent company, or public listing has been disclosed.
