Is a bundle the same thing as a group purchase?
No. A group purchase is multiple items/units of the same or substantially similar items; i.e., 50 desks or 50 desks and 50 chairs, or 50 desk and chair combinations. A bundle consists of relatively dissimilar items that function together as a unit. “Bundle” is a term used with technology purchasing, but is actually used in similar ways for other costs such as remodeling—remodeling could include labor, supplies, purchased services, and equipment within the meaning of “remodeling.” Within technology, a bundle probably will include supplies, equipment, and purchased services.
