WHAT IS COOPERATIVE PURCHASING?

Cooperative Purchasing enables eligible political subdivisions to purchase goods and services from State Contracts if the contractor agrees to do so. Cooperative Purchasing is an effective tool that government entities may use to leverage time and cost efficiencies.
