Contract Summary: CN-370000-HW558-DC018C

This is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract awarded through the National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (NCPA), a consortium that enables state and local government agencies, as well as education and nonprofit organizations, to leverage cooperative purchasing agreements. The contract involves multiple states and jurisdictions accessing goods and services through an awarded vendor or vendor team. The document establishes the framework for participating entities to place individual purchase orders against the master agreement, with pricing and terms negotiated at the national level to provide economies of scale for state and local procurement offices.

The contract establishes pricing terms on a fixed or tiered schedule, with options for renewal periods extending the contract beyond its initial term. Purchases are made on an as-needed basis, with participating agencies authorized to issue purchase orders up to specified dollar thresholds. The agreement typically includes small business set-asides or other socioeconomic preferences as mandated by state and federal regulations. Administrative fees may apply to support the NCPA cooperative purchasing infrastructure. Individual state agencies and local governments retain the flexibility to establish their own contract minimums, order procedures, and delivery requirements while leveraging the pre-negotiated national pricing and terms established through the IDIQ framework.
