Did you know that there are over 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:
U.S. Communities was founded by the CSAC Finance Corporation,
CSAC, and the League of California Cities and is the leading
national cooperative purchasing program that leverages the buying
power of over 90,000 public agencies. Please visit www.uscommunities.org for
