Does the pricing meet competitive solicitation requirements?
Through cooperative purchasing laws, the City of Kansas, MO contract, available through OMNIA Partners, by virtue of its public solicitation language, generally meets the requirements for solicitation in the entire United States. This allows agencies to use the pricing without taking the time to create solicitation documents, entertain multiple vendor inquiries and document the solicitations. Placing the order through Graybar allows them to utilize a quality vendor repetitively without the cost of using unknown or less reliable vendors. View State Statutes for more details.
Does the competitive pricing apply, regardless of quantity?
There are no costs, minimum quantity requirements or spend limits.
Is the pricing from a local government competitively solicited agreement?
The OMNIA Partners pricing is the same pricing used to win the City of Kansas City, MO, EV2370 contract for Electrical, Lighting, Data Communications and Security Products and Related Products, Services and Solutions.
How does it save time and money?
The key value for the agency is resource savings. Most agencies today are spread thinner than ever. Agencies are downsizing administrative departments and retiring or departing purchasing and maintenance positions are left unfilled. The contract available through OMNIA Partners provides a mechanism to save the time and costs associated with obtaining quotes or preparing solicitations.
