Cooperative Purchasing for Traffic Safety Solutions
Simplified procurement through nationally recognized purchasing contracts.
Radarsign participates in cooperative purchasing programs that allow public agencies to procure traffic safety equipment through pre-competed contracts. These programs streamline the purchasing process by eliminating the need for agencies to issue their own RFP while still meeting competitive procurement requirements.
Through cooperative purchasing, municipalities, schools, transportation agencies, and law enforcement departments can quickly acquire radar speed signs, flashing beacons, crosswalk safety systems, and other traffic calming solutions.
What is Cooperative Purchasing?
Cooperative purchasing programs combine the buying power of multiple public agencies into a single, competitively solicited contract. Instead of managing a full procurement process independently, agencies can purchase through these established agreements.
This approach helps agencies:
→ Reduce procurement timelines
→ Maintain compliance with purchasing regulations
→ Access competitively priced equipment
→ Move from approval to deployment faster
Radarsign solutions are available through several cooperative purchasing programs used by municipalities, schools, and transportation agencies across the United States.
