Attention State Agencies & Cooperative Purchasing Members:

Flood Emergency Resources
The Materials Management Division of the Department of Administration has many contracts currently in effect that could be a source of materials, equipment and services to assist governmental entities in a time of flood. These contracts provide eligible Cooperative Purchasing Venture members and state agencies the ability to order needed goods and services without having to solicit them as the state contacts have already been solicited. State agencies can order any dollar amount that is allowed by the contract release without being limited by their individual delegation of authority.
