How Cooperative Contracts Work
1
Pre-Negotiated Pricing
NASPO ValuePoint contracts are competitively solicited and awarded at the national level. Pricing is pre-negotiated, so you get volume-level rates without running your own RFP.
2
State-Level Participation
Each state opts in to the national contract through a Participating Addendum. This means the contract is fully compliant with your state's procurement regulations.
3
Eligible Entities
State agencies, K-12 school districts, colleges and universities, cities, counties, and other political subdivisions can purchase through these contracts.
