U.S. Communities Government Purchasing Alliance

CSBA and the California Association of School Business Officials have partnered with the U.S. Communities Government Purchasing Alliance to provide volume discounts on selected products based on the purchasing power of public agencies nationwide. The U.S. Communities Government Purchasing Alliance allows public school districts and county offices of education in California to purchase office supplies and equipment at deep discounts based on competitively bid contracts.
