Cooperative Purchasing Program

With GSA’s Cooperative Purchasing Program,

state and local governments can get what they

need – for less.

The Cooperative Purchasing Program provides

access to thousands of nationwide, pre-vetted

vendors that offer a wide array of commercial

information technology (IT) and law enforcement

products, services and integrated solutions.

The Cooperative Purchasing Program affords the flexibility needed to save time and money, while supporting your mission and everyday needs.
