Resolution 24-25-14 & OMNIA Agreement.pdf
Summary: OMNIA Partners is a cooperative purchasing organization, including the National Intergovernmental Alliance Company, U.S. Communities and National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance. All cooperative purchasing agreements offered through OMNIA Partners have been awarded via a competitive solicitation by a public agency/governmental entity (such as a state, city, county, pubic university or school district). By registering with OMNIA through the approval of the Master Intergovernmental Purchasing Agreement, the District is able to piggyback off the competitively procured contract in accordance with California Public Contract Code ยง 20118. The Purchasing Department requests that the Board of Education find it its in the best interests of the District to participate in the cooperative purchasing program administered by OMNIA Partners, which will result in the District having access to competitively procured contracts.
Funding: N/A
Fiscal Impact No cost to join. Savings is anticipated due to the nature of consortium pricing.
Recommendation: Move to approve Resolution 24/25 - 14 Authorizing the District's membership with OMNIA Partners Cooperative through the approval of a Master Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement, effective September 12, 2024.
