ISSA and National Service Alliance Form Strategic Partnership to Empower Building Service Contractors with New Growth Tools

ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association, has announced a strategic partnership with the National Service Alliance (NSA) to unlock powerful benefits for building service contractors (BSCs) at every stage of growth.

Through this partnership, BSCs gain access to both ISSA's world-class education programs and NSA's unmatched group purchasing power-combining training, savings, and business solutions in one unified offering from two industry leaders.

"Together, ISSA and NSA are creating a platform that empowers BSCs to grow stronger, smarter, and more profitable," said ISSA Chief Engagement Officer Brant Insero. "Whether you're a small contractor looking to break into new accounts or are focused on efficiency, this partnership delivers resources that matter."

What this means for contractors:

• Small BSCs win big: ISSA members with less than $2 million in annual sales can now join NSA's Tier III membership-valued at $299 per year-at no cost, opening the door to significant savings on products, equipment, and services.
• Stronger margins: ISSA members who choose to participate can benefit from NSA-negotiated pricing and rebates across 60+ leading suppliers, to boost their bottom line while scaling operations.
• Smarter operations: Members gain access to spend management tools, order control systems, and supplier collaboration opportunities.
• Elevated professionalism: NSA members get access to discounted pricing on ISSA's industry-leading training and certification, giving contractors a competitive edge in client bids and employee development.

NSA currently represents more than 1,800 contract cleaning companies with combined revenues exceeding $17 billion. By aligning with ISSA, the alliance expands beyond cost savings to build a connected network where contractors gain both operational strength and professional recognition.

"NSA focuses on delivering unmatched savings and solutions to contractors," said NSA President Michael Conrad. "By partnering with ISSA, we're extending that value to include world-class education and professional development-giving BSCs the complete package to thrive in today's competitive market."
