Next Steps Each participating state needs to execute a Participating Addendum with selected contractors Participating Addendum Process
Participating Addendums Through the Participating Addendum, states may: Select Contractors Include their own state administrative fee Include required (unique) terms and conditions Identify options for political subdivisions
Eligibility Process In all cases STATE CHIEF PROCUREMENT OFFICIAL will have the final say on who can and cannot participate within a state The WNCDT (WCSA/NASPO Cooperative Development Team) will contact State Chief Procurement Officials directly to start process (expect s from All 50 states and DC have executed the NASPO Cooperative MOA, and are eligible to use any WSCA or NASPO cooperative contract
Who Can Participate? Participation at different levels: State signs a Participating Addenda for entire state and its cooperative purchasing venture –Every legally eligible entity in the state can use State signs a Participating Addenda ONLY for non state entities –Every legally eligible entity that is not a STATE agency can use State does not sign a Participating Addenda –Every political subdivision PA within that state must be approved by the state chief procurement official Sometimes individually Sometimes by entity
Participation Process If you determine that you will not enter into a state-level participating addendum, the WNCDT would like to understand how you want to proceed if other governmental or potentially eligible entities want to participate, especially for non-profit entities (501(c)(3)) The WNCDT will process questions from potentially eligible entities for you, unless you tell us to do something else The following process will be used when other states or entities wish to participate
Details How do we get people signed up? 1. request from entity (can be through contract providers) as long as these details are included: contact individual’s name, full name of entity, phone number, address, physical address 2.WNCDT s state director and request authorization for participation 3.WNCDT s both contract providers and entity with authorization to proceed to complete the participating addendum 4.Entity completes contract provider’s draft participating addendum (from the WNCDT), negotiates, signs and forwards to contract providers point of contact [this can be done by scanning signed documents if permitted by the entity]
Details Continued How do we get people signed up? 5. Contract providers point of contact signs participating addendum and forwards to WNCDT at 6. WNCDT will annotate on participating addendum state authorization, create a PDF file of the participating addendum and the state authorization 7.
