How NPPGov Contracts Work
NPPGov is a national cooperative procurement organization offering publicly solicited contracts to government entities in the United States and Canada. Our contracts are created through a public solicitation and award process with multiple Lead Public Agencies.
We serve various Government and Nonprofit organizations. All members have access to a broad range of publicly solicited contracts, individual discount programs, and negotiated contracts for below-threshold purchases.
I have to conduct an RFP process or at least have three quotes. How does NPPGov satisfy this requirement?
NPPGov manages contracts which were created through an RFP process meeting the requirements of all lower and upper purchasing threshold requirements. By piggybacking off the contract you are eliminating the need to conduct your own solicitation or collect three quotes. It is still your responsibility to verify our contracts meet your state and local requirements, but our legal counsel is available for consultation during your analysis.
Where can I obtain copies of the legal documentation associated with each publicly solicited contract?
Contracting documents, including the RFP, Master Price Agreement, Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA), and Synopsis, are available on our website under the vendor page and may be accessed by logging in to nppgov.com.
What are the terms of the contracts?
Contract length varies by the public entity that conducted the solicitation, but the initial term is typically 3 years with the option of multi-year extensions up to 6 years.
What does it cost to join NPPGov?
There are no membership fees, purchasing obligations, or minimum purchasing requirements.
Where do I send payments?
Invoices and payments go directly to the vendor you are working with. NPPGov does not collect any payments from our members for products or services.
