CMPA_Terms_and_Conditions.pdf

This document is a solicitation addendum for the Cincinnati Metro Procurement Alliance (CMPA), a collaborative purchasing group involving entities in Greater Cincinnati, Ohio, including local governments, educational institutions, special districts, and non-profits. The document outlines terms and conditions for potential suppliers seeking to participate in a cooperative procurement agreement administered through Bespoke Community Cooperatives, LLC. The CMPA aims to leverage joint buying power to secure better pricing, favorable terms, and a broader range of goods and services with reduced administrative burdens.

The solicitation requires awarded suppliers to pay an administrative fee of two percent (2%) of total sales made through the Master Agreement, with fees collected by BESPOKE on behalf of CMPA. Monthly sales reporting is mandatory, with reports due by the 15th of each month detailing purchasing entities, items sold, quantities, and total sales value. Participating agencies can include municipalities, counties, states, higher education institutions, public authorities, and non-profit organizations. The geographic reach for servicing can be up to 50 miles outside the CMPA area, with potential for broader coverage. Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority will serve as the Lead Procurement Agency, and other participating agencies can utilize the contract through a registration process with BESPOKE.
