GPPCS How do I become a member? Top In accordance with the Arizona Administrative Code R7-2-1191 through R7-2-1195, a school district may either participate in, sponsor, conduct, or administer a cooperative purchasing agreement (CPA) for the procurement of any materials, services, or construction with one or more public procurement units in accordance with an agreement entered into between the participants. Once your governing board
has approved the CPA, send the original to the President of the Consortium,
(A copy of the CPA can be printed from the
home page). After the agreement has been signed,
it will be registered with either the Secretary of State or the The only requirements for
membership in the Consortium is that the member district sign a Cooperative
Purchasing Agreement and issue at least one bid on behalf of the Consortium
annually. Charter schools that are subject to the procurement rules as prescribed in A.A.C. R7-2-1001 et seq., the "School District Procurement Code," may become members of the GPPCS. Charter schools that are exempt from the Code by the State Board of Charter Schools, while not full members, may participate in and use GPPCS contracts at the discretion of the consortium as other public entities. Once a member, when will my district be eligible to participate and benefit from the current and upcoming contracts? Top Once both parties have signed the CPA, the member district may participate in the contracts that are open to all members. There are some contracts, (i.e. the Milk and Paper Bid that required a commitment from a district prior to issuing the solicitation) that will only be available for use by specified districts. Is there a GPPCS Vendor List? Top No. All bids issued on
behalf of the GPPCS are issued by a lead District(s); therefore
no vendor listing is maintained by the GPPCS. Vendors must contact each school district individually to obtain a copy of their vendor registration packet. Some school sites can be reached here, or by going to our home page and referring to the list of current members to obtain more information on vendor registration for their school district. Can Vendors attend the monthly meetings? Top Monthly meetings are open to all current and potential member districts only. On occasion the GPPCS members may request that a vendor/supplier conduct a presentation on items or services in which the majority of the members are interested. Who do I contact with questions? Top President of the GPPCS, will be happy to answer your questions. HOME | MEMBERS | OFFICERS | MEETING DATES Technical difficulties with this page? please contact webmaster.
