Procurement Pathway

Use Grant Funding More Efficiently With Cooperative Procurement

Finding a grant is only part of the process. Once funding is identified or awarded, agencies still need a compliant and efficient path to purchase, deploy, and support the equipment or services tied to the project. MAXSUR's BuyBoard contract may help eligible agencies streamline 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.
