This document is a prospective use solicitation issued by The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS), a national cooperative purchasing program. The solicitation covers a wide range of products and services for use by government entities, non-profits, and educational institutions across the United States. The solicitation does not pertain to a specific project, but rather establishes a vendor pool that can be utilized by TIPS members as needed. Interested vendors are invited to submit responses, which will be evaluated and approved vendors will be awarded a contract with TIPS. The contract term is typically three years with two optional one-year renewals.

The pricing terms and other contractual details are outlined in the full solicitation documents available on the TIPS website. This is an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) type contract, meaning there are no minimum order quantities guaranteed. Funding for purchases made under this contract will come from the individual TIPS member agencies and organizations, not from TIPS itself. Any small business, minority-owned, woman-owned, or veteran-owned set-aside requirements will also be determined by the individual TIPS member agencies.
