The initial term of the contract was from October 18, 2013 thru October 17, 2016. The contract has been renewed for an additional 3 years. The new contract term is October 18, 2016 thru October 17, 2019.

City of Tamarac acted as the lead agency for the Southeast Florida Governmental Purchasing Cooperative which consists of twenty-six (26) governmental agencies to advertise and award this agreement, which allows governmental agencies to utilize the agreement and pricing.

We are currently piggy-backing off of the State Contract # 618-000-11-1, which Commission approved an extension (on October 18, 2016). The State contract is expiring April 17, 2017.

There will be a new State of Florida contract (44111513-17-01) which has a core list of 10,000 contract items. The National IPA/City of Tamarac Contract also has a core list of 10,000 contract items.  The difference being that the National IPA/City of Tamarac contract allows for purchases outside the core list to which the State's contract does not.

It is recommending to piggy-back off the National IPA/City of Tamarac Contract # 13-23R to allow purchases of contract and non-contract items.

Funds are budgeted for all departments through their office supply accounts.
