Who sells to state and local governments?
In GSA eLibrary, look for special item numbers (SINs) that say “Subject to Cooperative Purchasing.”
Industry partners participating in Cooperative Purchasing are marked with a “Coop Purch” logo on eLibrary and GSA Advantage.
How do I order?
While GSA recommends that state and local purchasing officials follow the Schedule ordering procedures in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 8.4 to ensure receiving the best value from GSA Schedule contractors, use of these procedures is not mandated by GSA.
You must also use the ordering procedures needed to meet your state or local acquisition regulations and meet competition requirements. You can include the terms and conditions your state or local laws require, but they cannot conflict with the terms and conditions of the GSA Schedule contract.
