Public Purchase

The Cooperative Purchasing Connection (CPC) uses an online, eProcurement service called Public Purchase to conduct its solicitation processes. If your organization would like to do business with CPC in the future and would like to be notified of upcoming solicitations, you will need to create an account following the steps outlined below.

  2. NIGP Code Selection – select the codes that relate to your business products and/or services. *Automatic notifications will be sent to the email on account if any solicitations match the codes you have selected.
  3. You will receive an email from [email protected] verifying your account has been activated.
