U.S. Communities
Non-Exclusive Cooperative Purchasing Program for Cities
June 21, 2004
U.S. Communities is a nonprofit instrumentality of government that helps public agencies reduce the cost of purchased goods by combining the purchasing power of public agencies nationwide. This objective is accomplished by competitively soliciting quality products by a single lead public agency and making the resulting contract available to other public agencies nationwide. U.S. Communities' founding co-sponsors include the United States Conference of Mayors, the Association of School Business Officials, the National Association of Counties, the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing, and the National League of Cities. These founding co-sponsors also serve on the Governing Board
