How to Buy
Buying through PSA is simple:
1.
Contact the vendor directly. PSA members can
work directly with awarded vendors to discuss their needs and place orders.
2.
Reference the PSA contract. Depending on the
goods or services, your agency may need a separate agreement with the vendor.
Include the PSA contract number in your purchase order and any agreement to
connect your purchase to the competitively awarded contract.
3.
Place your order—and you’re done! PSA requires
no separate purchase reporting. You do not need to send us your purchase
orders.
Procurement Integrity
All contracts offered through PSA have been formally procured using the competitive sourcing processes mandated by state and federal procurement laws and regulations. Generally, formal Request for Proposals (RFPs) are used to determine the highest ranked vendor that provides the best value in terms of quality of products/services, delivery terms, customer service, reputation and pricing.
