Do entities commit to ordering only from the BuyBoard by joining the Cooperative?
No, the BuyBoard is simply an alternative to entities wanting to buy already competitively procured products and services. A variety of products is available at discounts from manufacturers’ prices. Members can elect to do all their purchasing from these discounted catalogs or only purchase selected items. The Cooperative’s intent is to extend the options available to local governments and other political subdivisions. After becoming a member, entities choose how to participate, product category by product category, item by item.
