Government Purchasing

U.S. Communities is a government purchasing cooperative that combines the potential purchasing power of 90,000 public agencies to provide participating agencies with access to the best overall supplier government pricing on thousands of high quality products, services and solutions from a wide variety of leading national brands.

Save Time on the Government Purchasing Process

All U.S. Communities contracts have been competitively solicited by a lead public agency. Each solicitation contains language which allows other local government purchasing officials to piggyback on these contracts through an intergovernmental agreement, effectively saving both time and money. Our competitively solicited government contracts satisfy the competitive bid requirement in most states; however, please review your state's cooperative bylaws.

Save Money

With no cost to participate and no minimum order requirements (buy as little or as much as you need), government purchasing agencies of any size have the ability to purchase the products, services and solutions they need at volume discount prices that would be difficult to attain individually.
