The NASPO ValuePoint Cooperative Purchasing program meets state requirements for competitively bid products. Many states are already buying through a NASPO ValuePoint purchasing program. State agencies, education institutions, local governments, and municipalities are able to leverage their spending, without going through a bid solicitation. NASPO ValuePoint secures competitive pricing from its vendors/suppliers. Go here for details on contract No. 05316.

As a national cooperative purchasing program, NASPO ValuePoint uses the collective purchasing power of all 50 states to achieve competitive deals for a variety of products and services. A single Lead State manages select contracts on behalf of other states. For contract No. 05316, the lead state is Washington. In the cooperative program, NASPO ValuePoint member-states and government entities are not required to pay membership fees.
