Background
The Purchasing Cooperative has been in existence for over 30 years and has grown its membership to over 450 entities.  Our cooperative contracts have satisfied the Texas Education Code bidding laws and are available to our members and potential members via an Interlocal contract. The Texas Government Code 791, Interlocal Cooperation Contracts, allows agencies to enter into cooperative contracts. Institutions that have previously signed a Master Interlocal agreement or addendum to the Master Interlocal with the Purchasing Cooperative, Gulf Coast Cooperative, or Choice Facility Partners are automatically members of all of these programs. Let HCDE help you in your next purchase by saving you time and money.
