WHY USE U.S. COMMUNITIES?
• Competitively solicited contracts by a lead public agency
• Best government pricing
• No cost to participate
• Non-exclusive contracts
• Over 43,000 participating agencies
• Aggregated purchases in 2008 exceeded $1.4 billion

HOW TO USE
Public agencies and nonprofits register to participate at www.uscommunities.org. The registration includes
consent to a master intergovernmental cooperative purchasing agreement with the various lead public agencies
and is intended to meet the legal formalities of participation in the program. A single registration allows
participation in all lead agency contracts. There are no restrictions on the amount or size of a public agency order.

AUTHORITY TO USE
Generally, a public body may participate in, sponsor, conduct or administer a cooperative procurement agreement
with one or more other public bodies, or agencies of the United States, for the purpose of combining requirements
to increase efficiency or reduce administrative expenses. In a few states, this power is not passed on to localities.
Each state’s authorizing statute is shown on the “Legal Authority” tab at www.uscommunities.org.
All U.S. Communities contracts have been competitively solicited by a lead public agency in accordance with
their public purchasing rules and regulations. Each solicitation contains language that advises all suppliers of the
subsequent contract that may be used by other government agencies throughout the United States. This language
is based on the lead jurisdiction “Joint Powers Authority” or “Cooperative Procurement” program. Although each
government may have different purchasing procedures to follow, applying these competitive principles satisfies the
competitive bid requirements for most state and local government agencies.
State statutes and, if applicable, local ordinances generally allow one government agency to purchase from contracts
competitively solicited by another government agency (“Lead Public Agency”). This, of course, would require the
consent of all parties including the supplier, the Lead Public Agency and government agency purchasing from the
Lead Public Agency contract. U.S. Communities contracts are established to meet both the competitive solicitation
and consent requirements. Public agencies accessing U.S. Communities consent to a Master Intergovernmental
Cooperative Purchasing Agreement (MICPA) with the various lead public agencies that have competitively solicited
and awarded available contracts.

COSTS TO USE
Public agencies pay no costs and are charged no fees to participate. The suppliers, who pay a minimum
1% administrative fee to participate, fund U.S. Communities. This pays for operating expenses and offsets
costs incurred by national and state sponsors.

BEST GOVERNMENT PRICING
U.S. Communities does not have a most favored customer requirement. Suppliers are required to match pricing
lower than U.S. Communities only for agencies that would otherwise be eligible for lower pricing through
another contract vehicle. This requirement ensures that agencies are offered the best government pricing through
U.S. Communities. Contracts are non-exclusive and discretionary, so an agency can choose to use any contract
that, in their sole discretion, is in their best interest.
