Understanding Cooperative Purchasing Publicly Awarded Contracts

The Lead Public Agency prepares an RFP, incorporating the required cooperative purchasing language that allows public entities across the nation to access (piggyback) the contract.
Suppliers respond to the RFP and the Lead Public Agency evaluates and awards the Master Price Agreement (MPA).
Members can review all documents online and access contract pricing by signing the Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement (IGA).
Our competitively bid process is consistent with AFG guidelines.
