IFB CONTRACTS

NATIONAL JOINT POWERS ALLIANCE (NJPA)

Get your furniture quickly and avoid the bid process altogether by taking advantage of the aggregate purchasing power of counties and cities in the United States to supply all local government and non-profit agencies with the most favorable local government pricing on a large variety of high quality office furniture products. These contracts were designed to provide local government and non-profit agencies with a purchasing tool without adding administrative burdens. They are competitively bid by locals for locals. Eligible entities include counties, municipalities, any state agencies, K-12 schools, colleges and any non-profit organizations. To view more information and see the Illinois statute that gives entities the authority to participate, click here.
