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
• Other eligible entities only – provides for participation by local government agencies and other eligible entities, but prohibits participation by state agencies

For questions related to participation in NASPO ValuePoint master agreements, please contact the Cooperative Contract Coordination team at [email protected].

For states that do not use a Participating Addendum, or use a Participating Addendum covering only certain entities, other eligible entities may participate in a master agreement as described in an Eligible Entity Participation Document provided by NASPO ValuePoint.

Please review the Eligible Entity Participating Document for eligibility details.
