Purchasing alliance offers cities, towns strength in numbers
US Communities Government Purchasing Alliance
No obligation - Big savings
The Colorado Municipal League, along with the National League of Cities, National Association of Counties, the Association of School Business
Officials International, the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing,
and the United States Conference of Mayors sponsors the U.S. Communities
Government Purchasing Alliance .
The U.S. Communities program provides all local agencies in the U.S.
with publicly, competitively bid contracts for products and services.
Most local agencies may piggyback on a contract competitively bid by another
public agency, thus eliminating the need to re-bid. Through the buying
power of large purchasers in the U.S. Communities program such as Los Angeles and Fairfax County, VA., all local government agencies receive access
to excellent pricing and contract terms.
U.S. Communities offers local agencies:
-
Competitively bid contracts by a lead local agency
-
Most favorable local agency pricing
-
No cost to participate
-
National sponsorship by leading associations and purchasing organizations
-
A broad range of high-quality products such as office supplies
office furniture, industrial supplies, electrical and data communications supplies,
and computer hardware/software
-
The aggregate purchasing power of public agencies nationwide
-
Management by public purchasing professionals
