Resource takes the hassle out of purchasing the items you need, saving you both time and money in the process.
The Cooperative Purchasing Connection allows organizations to buy from vetted vendors at competitive prices, many of whom already meet state bid requirements. Learn best practices from over 100 product and service experts in various areas.
The Cooperative Purchasing Program offers members a wide range of high-quality products and services at discounted rates. By combining the purchasing power of all members, you receive volume pricing on quality products and services from reputable vendors. We work WITH vendors FOR members. View our Cooperative Purchasing Connection Contract Catalog.
Vendors we provide are the result of either formal bids (identified as State Bid or SB) or negotiated contracts (identified as Preferred Vendors or PV).
The contracted SB vendors are established through formal bids and purchasing from them satisfies Minnesota competitive bidding requirements, regardless of the amount of the purchase. The ability to do so is outlined in Minnesota Statutes123A.2 and 471.345.
The combination of these two statutes gives members the ability to purchase from contracted vendors while remaining in compliance with the Minnesota competitive bidding requirements.
The Express Online Marketplace brings you the ease and convenience of ordering from multiple vendors on one site while knowing that the contracts you are purchasing from have been chosen according to state purchasing regulations.
