Use Grant Funding More Efficiently With Cooperative Procurement
Finding a grant is only part of the process. Once funding is identified or awarded, Arizona agencies still need a compliant and efficient path to purchase, deploy, and support the equipment or services tied to the project.
MAXSUR participates in cooperative purchasing through BuyBoard, which may help eligible agencies simplify procurement, access contract pricing, and move faster from funding approval to field-ready capability.
BuyBoard eligibility, grant allowability, and procurement requirements may vary by agency, funding source, and jurisdiction. Agencies should confirm requirements with their procurement office, grant administrator, and legal counsel before purchase.
