This document is a section of Wisconsin's Cooperative Purchasing Service agreement involving Wisconsin statutes (s. 16.73, Wis. Stats.) that establishes authority for municipalities to purchase from state cooperative purchasing with the state or any municipality under ss. 66.0301(1) and (2), Wis. Stats. The agreement allows Wisconsin municipalities to participate in cooperative purchasing arrangements with various state agencies, school districts, vocational, technical and adult education districts, or any other public body having the legal authority to participate in cooperative purchasing.

The cooperative purchasing service covers commodities or services that municipalities may need to furnish, with specific provisions for Wisconsin municipalities to participate with any special conditions noted. The State of Wisconsin is authorized to purchase or dispose of commodities arising from these purchases, and municipalities must directly place orders referencing the state agency contract number and provide payment directly to the contractor. The agreement includes provisions for bid proposals to Wisconsin municipalities, with vendor services that may specify minimum order sizes by volume or dollar amount, additional charges beyond normal delivery areas, or other minimal charges for municipalities. Special conditions may apply if the service allows vendors to specify certain terms for municipal participation.
