How can NJPA contracts benefit my agency?National Cooperative Contract Purchasing provides considerable time and resource savings for participating member agencies.
Membership establishes a legal paper trail between the member and NJPA, justifying your contract purchasing decision. A no-cost, no-obligation NJPA membership provides access to competitively solicited contracts, procured by a national municipal contracting agency. Our contracts leverage national volume pricing and provide our members with the desired vendor choices.
NJPA has nationally solicited, evaluated and awarded contracts through a competitive solicitation process on behalf of its members. These contracts can be leveraged by municipalities under the authority of NJPA’s enabling legislation and your state’s procurement laws and/or Joint Powers Authority. These laws allow access to NJPA’s contracts and procurement process to satisfy your local/state bidding requirements, avoiding duplication of the process.
The National Joint Powers Alliance® (NJPA) is a public agency; established through Minnesota State Statute in 1978.
