Through the BIO Business Solutionssm program, BIO partners with industry suppliers and service providers to provide BIO members with discounts and special benefits on the suppliers' products and services. In turn, BIO provides its endorsement, member access and communication support to its supplier partners. BIO typically selects supplier partners through a competitive bid process.

BIO has a formal process for consideration of new partnerships. BIO utilizes an Advisory Board comprised of member company representatives nationwide from various professional disciplines to assess the needs of its membership as they relate to the BIO Business Solutionssm program and to review proposals from suppliers and service providers.

The first step in the process is to complete a questionnaire that provides a brief overview of your company, the products and services you propose to offer and other relevant information. The BIO Advisory Board reviews the questionnaire responses twice a year, typically in January and June. BIO will notify you of the outcome. Note that the questionnaire and your responses do not constitute an offer by BIO nor commit BIO to any course of action.

"The BIO Business Solutions program is very valuable to a company, especially now. Everybody is looking to save money in any way they can, and some ways are, frankly, quite painful. This one is a method that is not painful at all - in fact, it is easy. We pretty much do what we've always done; we're just paying less money for the same things. It's a win-win." Matt Pfeffer, Corporate Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, MannKind Corporation
