• Cooperative Contracts

    A cooperative contract is a contract that is solicited and negotiated by another public entity or cooperative procurement group and that explicitly allows other public agencies to purchase off of the contract.  ½ûÂþÌìÌà can use a cooperative contract only if the procurement that resulted in the contract meets certain standards substantially similar to those set out in the District's Public Contracting Rules.

    Cooperative Contract Approval

    To request use of a cooperative contract, submit a Cooperative Contract Approval Form found on our Contract Forms page here.  Do note it takes approximately two weeks to review a cooperative contract not including any board approval or public notice requirements.
