By pooling the purchasing power of counties throughout the nation and using volume purchasing as leverage in the private sector, NACo helps bring better quality, improved benefits, and/or lower costs products & services than individual counties can negotiate on their own.  Most services offered have been competitively solicited by a lead public agency and the resulting contracts are immediately available to counties and other local governments use.

The U.S. Communities Government Purchasing Alliance (GPA) is a cooperative purchasing program offering local governments access to nationally solicited contracts that provide significant reductions in price and guaranteed delivery features.  U.S. Communities offers counties, cities, special districts, schools and nonprofits access to competitively solicited contracts that provide the best local government pricing available with no participation fees
