Civic Marketplace has developed a model policy for the use of Cooperative Purchasing Agreements for local governmental agencies. Most agencies have formal, written purchasing manuals; however, not all have chapters or sections establishing policies and procedures for the use of cooperative purchasing.
The model policy below was established using best practices and guidance from the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP), National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO), the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), and local governmental agencies such as the cities of Dallas, McKinney, and others.
