Group Purchasing Program

SDAO has entered into an agreement with National Purchasing Partners to provide all special districts in Oregon another choice in group purchasing. This program is similar to the State of Oregon Procurement program in that it allows districts to purchase goods and services at greatly reduced prices and complies with the Attorney General’s Model Public Contracting Rules.

What is a group purchasing organization? The fundamental purpose of a Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) is to allow its members to join together to leverage group purchasing strength in order to acquire goods and services at lower prices. GPO’s are not resellers, rather contract negotiators. GPO members are entitled to purchase through those negotiated contracts at the price and other terms so specified.

What is the membership cost? Participation in the SDAO Group Purchasing Program is completely free and voluntary to eligible members.
