Did you know that there are more than 40 contracts currently
available through the U.S. Communities Purchasing program?
On average, California counties utilize only two contracts
per county, leaving significant savings that counties can realize
by utilizing more of the supplier contracts. This no-cost program
is available to all counties, cities, special districts, and
non-profits and offers the lowest local government pricing on all
contract items.
Since the offerings on U.S. Communities are constantly evolving,
the CSAC Finance Corporation, CSAC, and the League of California
Cities are co-sponsoring a series of free U.S. Communities
briefings throughout California this year. The purpose of these
briefings, known as the U.S. Communities Suppliers Summits, is to
help inform local government staff how to take advantage of the
many (including some new) procurement options in the U.S.
Communities purchasing program.
Please urge your administrative staff responsible for facilities,
IT, fleet, parks & recreation, public safety, public works and HR
activities to attend a Summit in your area. The following Summits
are currently scheduled:
