Purchasing made easy through the Ohio DAS cooperative purchasing program

Digital transformation and IT modernization are essential to creating a better citizen experience. Innovations and system efficiencies that can increase civic engagement and satisfaction require government agencies to have reliable, cost-effective, high-speed connectivity and a solid network foundation.

Procuring the essential network services and network solutions can be complex, especially for government agencies with limited IT resources. The Ohio Department of Administrative Services (DAS) has made it easier for counties, townships, municipalities and other political subdivisions¹ to procure the IT services they need to enhance the lives of  their residents.

Through the Ohio DAS cooperative purchasing program (CPP), accessible via the OhioBuys online system, discounted rates and terms and conditions are pre-negotiated, which means public entities can more quickly and easily access the technology solutions they need.
