Purchasing Contracts

Get the products you want at pre-negotiated prices.

Purchasing through a bid process not only adds additional
work and delays, it often results in disappointment when the
low bid represents a lower quality product than what was
anticipated and specified.

Now you can forgo the bid process, get the products you
want,and be assured that they were procured at competitive
prices.

HGACBuy is a procurement service available to any tax-
based agency or non-profit 501c nationwide. Governmental
entities have been procuring products and services through
HGACBuy for over 30 years, and hundreds of agencies have
made the decision to replace their traditional in-house
bidding process with the easy-to-use, no cost services
provided by a purchasing contract.

All contracts available to members of HGACBuy have been
awarded by virtue of a public competitive procurement
process compliant with state statutes.

All units of local government, including non-profits providing
governmental services, are eligible to join HGACBuy.

Purchasing contracts allow you to:

• Enroll at no charge by simply completing a short
  registration process to participate
• Purchase a wide range of products without the need to
  use the bid process, while still meeting your local or state
  purchasing guidelines 
• Have complete control of the quality, design and
  manufacturer of your next playground purchase
