This document is an Exhibit 10 to COSTARS Program Election to Participate, which is a requirement for vendors awarded a contract through the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's COSTARS cooperative purchasing program. If awarded a COSTARS contract, the vendor agrees to sell the awarded items/services at the same prices and/or discounts, and in accordance with the contractual terms and conditions, to registered COSTARS Members who elect to participate in the contract. The vendor also agrees to pay an applicable Administrative Fee ($1500, or $500 for a Department of General Services Self-Certified Small Business, or $166 for a Department of General Services-verified Small Diverse Business) at the beginning of each contract year and upon each contract renewal date.

Vendors who are a Department of General Services Self-Certified Small Business or Department of General Services-verified Small Diverse Business must submit a copy of their active Small Business Contracting Program certificate with their bid response in order to qualify for the reduced Administrative Fee.
