AmSig Cooperative Agreement.pdf

This document is a bidder agreement form for Wisconsin's Cooperative Purchasing Service, establishing terms for vendors to participate in the state's cooperative purchasing program. The agreement involves the State of Wisconsin and interested municipalities throughout the state, including counties, cities, towns, villages, school districts, technical colleges, drainage districts, vocational districts, and other public bodies with contracting authority under Wisconsin statutes. Federally recognized Indian tribes and bands within Wisconsin may also participate in the cooperative purchasing program.

The document requires bidders to indicate their willingness to furnish commodities or services to Wisconsin municipalities under the state contract terms, with options to either agree or decline participation. Vendors participating in the cooperative purchasing service can specify minimum order sizes, additional charges for delivery beyond normal areas, or other conditions for municipal customers. The State of Wisconsin maintains no liability for municipal purchases made under this arrangement, with municipalities responsible for direct contact with contractors, order placement, receipt, acceptance, and payment. This cooperative purchasing structure allows Wisconsin municipalities to leverage state contracts for procurement while maintaining direct vendor relationships for order fulfillment and payment.
