How does the Cooperative Purchasing Connection procurement process work?

CPC conducts competitive solicitations to establish master contracts that local government entities and schools can use to purchase goods and services without needing to run their own individual bid processes.

What types of vendors typically win CPC contracts?

Successful vendors are typically established suppliers with the capacity to fulfill orders across a regional or statewide footprint, particularly those specializing in high-volume commodities like paper, IT hardware, and utility-scale infrastructure.

Are there specific certifications required to bid on CPC solicitations?

While CPC does not always mandate specific socio-economic certifications, vendors should be prepared to demonstrate strong supply chain reliability and the ability to provide consistent pricing to a wide network of public sector members.
