Welcome to the Texas Interlocal Purchasing Cooperative (TIPC)
On this page, you'll learn more about the work we do, our member organizations, and how to become a member of the TIPC.
Purpose
The purpose of the Texas Interlocal Purchasing Cooperative (TIPC) is to streamline and simplify compliance with Texas Government Code, Ch. 791, by establishing a collective or master cooperative purchasing agreement, under Texas Local Government Code Chapter 271, in which parties (“Members”) may authorize and access one‐another’s cooperative contracts, without needing to execute and maintain multiple interlocal agreements with each Member individually.
Fees
During the initial term of this Purchasing Cooperative, Members shall not assess any fees when their lead cooperative contracts are used by other Members, including fees assessed directly to Members and fees assessed to the contractor. After the initial term this provision is subject to change.
