BuyBoard FAQ
BuyBoard was created to support and serve public schools, municipalities, counties, and all types of local government agencies and nonprofits. That support and service is evidenced in the list of organizations that sponsor the BuyBoard and in turn support their respective membership. Purchasing through the BuyBoard means your agency is helping to support the statewide organizations that support you.
Combining the purchase power of local governments provides members—big and small—the leverage to achieve better pricing on products, equipment, and services they use every day. There is power in numbers, and BuyBoard has delivered the vast economies of scale in purchasing products and services to members since 1998.
BuyBoard contracts have already been through a competitive procurement process, saving members
the time and cost of preparing RFPs and bids. In many states, a purchasing cooperative enables public entities governed by competitive bidding requirements to take advantage of proposals awarded by a cooperative.
