Cooperative Purchasing Program - Price and Vendor List Contracts-Participation by Qualifying Nonprofits
Eligible nonprofits may purchase items from the SPO price and vendor list contracts.
A price list is a group of common items or services that were competitively bid and has contractually set prices for a specified time period. Items on a price list are provided at the contracted price and terms. A vendor list is comprised of qualified vendors that were competitively solicited to provide specified goods and/or services (i.e. copiers and facsimile equipment, WSCA computer equipment and services, etc.) for a specified period and usually at discount rates from a vendor's established catalog or product lists.

Pursuant to HRS Section 103D-804, nonprofit organizations with current contracts to provide health and human services obtained pursuant to HRS Chapter 103F, Purchase of Halth and Human Services contracts may purchase from State Procurement Office (SPO) price and vendor list contracts.
