A private nonprofit, TIBH serves as a middleman for every purchase made through the State Use program, overseeing contracts and recommending how all products and services should be priced.
John Luna, chairman of the soon-to-be-dissolved council, has described the council's arrangement with TIBH as "a proven example of a private sector success in a not-for-profit structure."
TIBH President Fred Weber said his firm is focused on keeping its prices competitive with the open market while continuing to support employment for the disabled.
