Can I access fire truck and municipal financing through a buying cooperative?

CLP now has a publicly-solicited contract available through NPPGov. NPPGov is a national cooperative procurement organization offering publicly-solicited contracts to public entities nationwide. Membership is free, there are no purchasing obligations and members have access to discounted pricing, programs and negotiated contracts for below-threshold purchases. That gives member fire departments and municipalities access to special lease financing rates and saves time during the procurement process. To find out  more  infomration, please  click here.

CLP holds a publicly solicited contract available through Sourcewell. Sourcewell's analysts streamline the procurement process by developing RFPs and IFBs for national, competitive solicitations that meet or exceed local requirements. Their rigorous process is continually refined to best meet the needs of participating agencies and allows them to offer exceptional products from nationally acclaimed suppliers. When it comes to purchasing, city leaders get the best of both worlds - local dealer access with national buying power through cooperative purchasing. They keep taxpayer dollars in the community while saving time and money during the procurement process by utilizing Sourcewell contracts to buy equipment, office supplies, technology, and other goods.  To find out more information, please click here.

The Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) is the largest of 24 Councils of Government (COG) in Texas, and is a political subdivision of the State of Texas. It has been serving local governments for more than 40 years.

H-GAC's Cooperative Purchasing Program, known as HGACBuy, was established pursuant to Texas Interlocal Cooperation Act [Texas Local Government Code, Title 7, Chapter 791]. The Act allows local governments and certain non-profits to contract or agree under the terms of the Act to make purchases or provide purchasing services and other administrative functions appropriately established by another government entity. The Interlocal Contract (ILC) is the required legal document that establishes a link between the Member (local governments and certain non-profits) and HGACBuy, and gives the Member access to HGACBuy contracts. To find out more information, please click here.
