Fairfax County actively participates in two cooperative purchasing programs:
Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments
Locally, we solicit, award, and use cooperative contracts in conjunction with the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments. We offer all vendors the opportunity to complete a COG rider at the time of award of each of our requirements contracts.
Nationally, we solicit, award, and use cooperative contracts in conjunction with US Communities, a governmental entity established and sponsored by the National Association of Counties, the US Conference of Mayors, and the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing.
