Cooperative Contracts
Procurement solutions that save
U.S. General Services Administration
With GSA’s Cooperative Purchasing Program, the federal government and U.S. Military can procure the athletic surfaces they need, at pre-vetted prices, without the expense and time required to host a multi-bid process.
1Government Procurement Alliance
1GPA is a non-profit governmental purchasing cooperative which allows public entities to take advantage of existing contracts to purchase the athletic surfaces they need. 1GPA’s pooled purchasing power means public and private schools, cities, counties and state entities, as well as colleges, universities and Native American communities can save actual budget dollars on athletic surface contracts utilizing best business practices. All of 1GPA’s contracts are competitively bid and awarded in compliance with state statutes, procurement laws and regulations.
