Participating Addendum Process
How to Participate All 50 states and The District of Columbia have executed the NASPO Cooperative MOA, allowing them to be eligible to use any NASPO ValuePoint cooperative Master Agreement
Who can Use Software VAR Contract All 50 States, District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico Any entity eligible to utilize a State Contract, with the permission of it’s States Chief Procurement Official.
Participation at different levels Participation Levels Participation at different levels 1. State signs a Participating Addenda for entire state and its cooperative purchasing venture Allows for every legally eligible entity in the state to utilize 2. State signs a Participating Addenda only for non state entities Allows for every legally eligible entity that is not a State Agency to utilize. 3. State does not sign a Participating Addenda Every political subdivision PA within that state must be approved by the State Chief Procurement Official. ( Either Individually or by Entity)
Next Steps… Each participating entity needs to execute Participating Addendum(s) with selected Contractors Model Participating Addenda for each awarded supplier are on the NASPO ValuePoint website
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 States or their political subdivisions Request state-specific reporting or other requirements
Step by Step Participating Addendum templates are available on each Master Agreement page on www.naspovaluepoint.org States may have submitted Intents to Participate during solicitation, this will provide the information for contractors to contact states interested in signing a Participating Addendum. States may also contact contractors directly to begin Participating Addendum process. State Chief Procurement Officials (or designated representative) will be the signatory on the Participating Addendum. They will also be the NASPO ValuePoint point of contact throughout the process. State completes the draft Participating Addendum for each contractor and then forwards the draft to the contractor. Negotiations will be handled directly between state and contractor. Upon agreement, the state sends a final copy of Participating Addendum to the contractor for signature. Contractor signs Participating Addendum and sends back to state for signature. State sends fully executed copy to both contractor and NASPO ValuePoint at PA@naspovaluepoint.org Executed Participating Addendum will be maintained in a repository.
Political Subdivisions In all cases the State Chief Procurement Official will have the approval authorization of who can and cannot participate within a State. The NASPO ValuePoint Cooperative Development Team may contact State Chief Procurement Officials directly to start process.
PA Process
Next Steps Participating Addenda will be posted on NASPO ValuePoint website Provide easy, direct access for your agencies, political subdivisions and other entities eligible to participate under your authority Contract Providers will create and maintain state specific landing pages from their main contract landing page
Things to Remember Sample PA’s are located on the NASPO ValuePoint Website under each master agreement portfolio. Executed Participating Addendum will be maintained on www.naspovaluepoint.org and in a repository. Participating states and entities will be identified on the map of the USA on each Master Agreement page on www.naspovaluepoint.org The Lead State and NASPO ValuePoint do not get involved with negotiations. Only submit completed and negotiated PA’s with signatures from both parties. Submit completed PA’s in PDF Format
