Cooperative Contracts
Solutions Made Easy Through DOMA's State Cooperative Contracts
With our scanning, software, and cloud services, DOMA is a SWAM-certified business that can save you time and money. DOMA's cooperative clauses mean Virginia public entities can skip the bidding process and purchase services the same way they would any independent DPS or VITA state contract and Michigan organizations can skip the lengthy RFP process. This translates to considerable time and money savings for your school or state agency.
DOMA'S GEORGIA COOPERATIVE CONTRACT
DOMA was awarded an MSA with the Georgia Technology Authority (GTA). As a multiple award prime contract holder, any entity across the state of Georgia can leverage DOMA’s cooperative contract for software development, cloud services, and IT services. This means that any Georgia agency can leverage the contract and either compete for tasks amongst awardees or sole source awards with a limited sources justification. This translates to considerable time and money savings for your state agency.
DOMA'S MICHIGAN COOPERATIVE CONTRACT
Purchasing our services is extremely easy since DOMA holds a State Cooperative Contract Clause through our work with the Wayne County Regional Educational Service Agency. This competitively awarded contract enables other public municipalities, non-profit organizations, and school districts in Michigan to “piggyback” and purchase DOMA services on an “as needed” basis. This cooperative contract allows your organization to skip the lengthy RFP process and quickly leverage our competitive pricing.

Frequently asked questions
Cooperative contracts — also known as cooperative procurements or cooperative agreements — are agreements between the government and businesses, created in order to lower the costs of procuring goods or services that multiple entities commonly need. Cooperative contracts were designed to circumvent the complex bidding process often required before services can be purchased.
Cooperative Contracts exist for many products such as gasoline/fuel, cleaning supplies, and paper, but with the growing need for technology services, you will find many consulting, IT, BPO, and software services available as well.
Through the Virginia Public Procurement Act (VPPA) Virginia, public entities can purchase services or goods through approved VITA (Virginia Information Technologies Agency) and DPS (Division of Purchases) contract vehicles. Additionally, they can procure services through an existing contract held by other state entities.
Leveraging cooperative contracts increases efficiency, reduces administrative expenses, and simplifies the process of deploying IT services.
Cooperative contracts ultimately result in lower prices. One contract and one procurement process serve multiple entities. Because the preliminary work has been completed for more than one agency, administrative costs are lower. Your organization doesn’t need to go through a lengthy process of seeking bids, proposals, and quotes. You can work directly with a trusted company like DOMA to get fast results.
According to the Virginia Public Procurement Act (VPPA):
“A public body may purchase from another public body’s contract even if it did not participate in the request for proposal or invitation to bid if the request for proposal or invitation to bid specified that the procurement was being conducted on behalf of other public bodies”
This means that any public body in the State of Virginia can leverage DOMA’s Cooperative Contract Clause. This includes:
- Municipal Governments: County, City or Town
- Authorities
- State Agencies
- Institutions of Higher Education
- K-12 Schools and Districts
