This document is a bidder agreement form for Wisconsin's Cooperative Purchasing Service, governed by Wisconsin statutes section 16.73. The form establishes the framework for Wisconsin municipalities to purchase from state contracts, allowing vendors to expand their sales opportunities without additional bidding processes. Participating municipalities include counties, cities, villages, towns, school districts, boards of school directors, sewer districts, drainage districts, vocational, technical and adult education districts, and other public bodies with contracting authority under Wisconsin statutes section 16.70(8). Federally recognized Indian tribes and bands in the state may also participate in cooperative purchasing arrangements.

The agreement requires bidders to indicate their willingness to furnish commodities or services to Wisconsin municipalities under the same terms as the state contract. Vendors may specify minimum order sizes, additional charges beyond normal delivery areas, or other minimal charges for municipalities. The bidder has agreed to participate in the cooperative purchasing service with special conditions that price varies by entity. The State of Wisconsin is not liable for delivery, payment disputes, or any issues arising from municipal purchases, as municipalities contract directly with vendors and are responsible for receipt, acceptance, inspection, and payment of commodities or services.
