National IPA

National Intergovernmental Purchasing Alliance Company (National IPA) was established through a collaborative effort of public agencies across the United States with the specific purpose of reducing procurement costs by leveraging group volume.

National IPA aggregates purchasing volume of participating public agencies across the country in order to receive larger volume discounts from suppliers. This is an optional use program with no minimum volume requirements. To participate in the program, simply submit a Participation Form.

All master agreements are publicly solicited, awarded through an RFP process, and held by a Principal Procurement Agency, while National IPA serves as a nationwide channel to offer the awarded agreements to public and non-profit agencies.

Eligible public agencies include:

City/Local Government
County Government
State Government
Public School Systems
Education
Other Public Agencies
Agencies for Public Benefit
Nonprofits
