What is the Cooperative Purchasing Expo?

The Cooperative Purchasing Expo provides an opportunity to learn how to participate in cooperative purchasing programs used by governmental agencies across the country. Cooperative contracts are a tool that all government agencies utilize to help expedite the purchase of goods & services. Cooperative purchasing agreements provide vendors with the opportunity to have their goods and services sold in large quantities nationwide.

 

Why Attend?

This is an excellent opportunity to learn what cooperative contracts are, how government entities use them, how can cooperative contracts help businesses grow and an opportunity to network via business-2-business and business-2-agency. We partner up with other governmental agencies, cooperative agencies (City of El Paso, County of El Paso, School Districts, Colleges, Universities, EP Water, EP Electric, Fort Bliss, ect…), and our strategic partners so that we are all under one roof for this 1-day event so that you as suppliers have an opportunity to network with all these agencies as well as business to business.

All suppliers looking for growth opportunities to learn and better understand cooperative contracts, and networking business-2-business and business-2-agency.
