Cooperative Purchasing

Under General Municipal Law (GML) § 103(16), agencies can use our established contracts to complete your project faster and at lower cost — no public bid required.

What Is Cooperative Purchasing?

Complete Your Project Without Going to Public Bid

Under General Municipal Law (GML) § 103(16), agencies can use E&FS' existing contract pricing and documents to complete work as if they bid the contract themselves — so they do not have to go out to public bid. This saves the "Soft Costs" associated with projects, including Design Services and Engineering costs.

E&FS holds multiple active piggyback contracts across state, county, and federal agencies. If your organization needs tank modification, environmental, or fueling services, contact us to find out which contract vehicle works best for your project.
