CHANGING THE LANDSCAPE OF PUBLIC PROGRAMS AND SERVICES

 

WHO WE ARE

Innovative Government Services Association (IGSA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing and implementing programs and services for state and local governments, special districts, public schools and universities, and nonprofit organizations.

In recent years, public sector cooperative purchasing providers have consolidated and moved away from public agency-centered programs to for profit organizations. As a nonprofit entity overseen by a board of directors who all have decades of experience supporting local and state governments, nonprofit associations and organizations, and educational institutions, we are uniquely positioned to change the landscape of public programs and services.

 
 

WHAT WE DO

IGSA was founded in 2020 to meet the needs of public agencies committed to providing efficient and effective services that leverage taxpayer dollars. We look for opportunities to facilitate public and private sector collaboration in ways that best serve constituent needs and effectively use taxpayer dollars.

Our programs and services are designed to facilitate cooperation, benefit from economies of scale, and give back to the communities where we live and work.

 

  • Trust

    We believe that transparency and accountability lead to value. Our nonprofit structure is proof that we have the public’s interest at our core.

  • Service

    We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting public agencies.

  • Community

    Investing in people gives everyone an opportunity to thrive. When communities are strong and resilient, we all benefit.

PROGRAMS

GOVMVMT provides best-in-class, public-agency owned, competitively solicited and awarded contracts to public and nonprofit agencies. GOVMVMT is designed to offer state and local governments, school districts, public and private universities, and nonprofits top-tier products and services at the lowest possible price.

GOVMVMT is reinventing cooperative purchasing, assuring

  • Legitimate public agency bidding

GOVMVMT also provides solutions for shared services, process management improvements, and innovative government services. All local and state agencies, K-12, and community college systems are eligible to participate in the program. 

 
 

“IGSA’s COMMITMENT to giving back to the communities in which it operates is what sets IT apart. ”

Advisory Council

In order to ensure that GOVMVMT offers the greatest value and most responsive service, the IGSA Board of Directors has created an Advisory Council of leading public procurement officials from around the country to inform the launch, growth, direction, and future of the program. 

 

Advisory Council member responsibilities include:

  • Determining which contracts are solicited

  • Serving as lead public agencies for solicitations

  • Posting upcoming solicitations

  • Evaluating responses from suppliers

  • Providing feedback and reviews of solicited contracts

  • Benchmarking the value of awarded contracts

  • Assisting with legal or legislative issues

  • Encouraging participation in GOVMVMT contracts among peers and colleagues

Cooperative purchasing is a powerful tool for state and local governments to pool their purchasing power and work with top-tier suppliers.
