The clause document establishes the framework for intergovernmental and cooperative purchasing opportunities, allowing eligible entities within the Mid-Atlantic region to utilize the purchasing agreements established through this collaborative procurement process. This purchasing mechanism enables participating jurisdictions and government agencies to leverage collective buying power and established vendor relationships, streamlining procurement procedures and potentially reducing costs through pre-negotiated terms and conditions.
