The Government Purchasing Alliance eliminates the need for a costly local bidding process. It allows your city to utilize contracts bid on its behalf by other local government jursidictions and public entities, saving your city's financial resources. New product lines are continually being evaluated by purchasing agents across the country. Options for and discussions on the addition of other product lines are under regular review by the GPA, and we at USCM welcome information about both existing and future contracts, bid by local governments at the city, town, village and municipality level. We encourage your city's input on adding additional commodities, products and services which local governments around the country readily consume and need.
Participation is made easy.
The Alliance is flexible. There is no risk, nothing to lose. It allows you to purchase products and services at a lower price and, when preferred or required, use local or other vendors. Many times, GPA companies use local vendors to meet cities' demands. Historically, a local government goes out to bid on certain desired products and services.
