How to Buy from a NASPO ValuePoint Contract
If you’ve identified a portfolio or supplier on the NASPO ValuePoint website and are ready to make a purchase:
The first step is to check whether your state has a Participating Addendum (PA) for that contract. Each PA outlines which entities within the state (such as agencies, counties, cities, public universities, or school districts) are authorized to purchase from the agreement.
If your organization is covered by a PA:
The next step is to follow your state’s or your organization’s established procurement procedures to complete the purchase. NASPO ValuePoint does not issue purchase orders or manage individual transactions, as each state or local entity retains its own procurement authority. These processes can vary widely, some state agencies may be required to use a central procurement platform (for example, an ERP (SAP, Workday, JD Edwards, etc.) or eProcurement System (Ivalua, SOVRA, CGI Advantage, etc.)), while local entities such as public universities or municipalities may have their own systems and approval thresholds.
Because these rules differ from state to state and even between organizations within the same state, NASPO ValuePoint cannot prescribe a single buying process, but encourages purchasers to work within their local procurement guidelines when utilizing NASPO ValuePoint contracts.

What is a Participating Addendum?
A Participating Addendum (PA) is generally used by a state Chief Procurement Official (CPO) to establish a state contract tied to a specific NASPO ValuePoint master agreement. The PA identifies unique terms and conditions specific to a state and identifies state agencies and other eligible entities in the state that are authorized to participate in the agreement. A state CPO may issue PAs that allow participation as follows:
- Statewide provides for participation by all state and local government agencies and other eligible entities within the state
- State only provides for participation only by state agencies.
- Non State entities only provides for participation by local government agencies and other eligible entities, but prohibits participation by state agencies.
Review your state’s Participating Addendum (PA) to determine eligibility. If a PA is not currently in place, contact the state CPO to discuss whether participation may be considered.
