If a state has executed a Participating Addendum that allows for Political Subdivision’s to conduct purchases, NASPO ValuePoint discourages individual entities and contractors from executing a separate or additional Participating Addendum.
If a Political Subdivision needs to execute a separate contractual document, that contractual document should be maintained at the political subdivision level. Do not forward to NASPO ValuePoint.

Sample PA’s are located on the NASPO ValuePoint Website under each master agreement portfolio.
State executed Participating Addendum will be maintained on and in a repository.
