Genetec and TIPS

Offering quality goods and services through piggybackable cooperative purchasing

What is the TIPS contract?

A competitively bid agreement through The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS) allows government, education, and non-profit organizations to access goods and services through pre-vetted vendors, saving time and money on the purchasing process. Piggybacking allows agencies to benefit from a competitive process that has already taken place. Piggybackable contracts eliminate the need for agencies to issue their own RFP, saving the agency significant time and effort.
