Emergency vehicles, communication equipment, services- all available for purchase on HGACBuy contract.

Local and State government and municipal agencies face several large roadblocks when procuring a piece of equipment, vehicle or service that they need. One main issue is funding. The other issue is the immense red tape that the procurement process can include. HGACBuy aims to elevate those issues and provide local governments the ability to purchase the equipment they need, when they need it.

HGACBuy is a well-established, nationwide cooperative purchasing program that assists local governments in reducing costs through government-to-government procurement. This program allows for local governments or authorized non-profit entities to purchase emergency vehicles and equipment without needing to solicit standard bids (thus freeing agencies up from the virtual procurement ‘tape’).
