SCoPA is a procurement alliance formed by Sacramento County, CA for the benefit and participation of surrounding entities. The group may include, but is not limited to, entities such as local governments, educational institutions, special districts or non-profits, that have joined together to leverage their joint buying power. By pooling their procurement needs, these agencies can secure better pricing, favorable terms, and a broader range of goods and services, often with reduced administrative burdens.

For awarded suppliers, partnering with SCoPA offers substantial benefits. Suppliers gain access to a larger customer base through a single, competitively awarded cooperative contract, simplifying both sales and procurement processes. This streamlined structure opens doors to new business opportunities and reduces the complexity and cost of pursuing multiple independent contracts.

SCoPA contracts are designed to support both local and national suppliers, providing opportunities for businesses of all sizes to participate in meaningful, community-focused procurement. This inclusive model fosters local economic impact, enhances supplier visibility, and builds long-term relationships between vendors and Public Agencies.

‍
1.) Find a SCoPA contract that benefits your district.
