U.S. Communities Purchasing & Finance Agency (U.S. Communities) is a non-profit public benefit corporation established by local government as an "instrumentality" of government to assist public agencies in reducing the cost of purchased goods and managing the financing of purchased goods.
U.S. Communities is jointly sponsored by the Association of School Business Officials (ASBO), National Association of Counties (NACo), the U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM), the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP), and the National League of Cities (NLC). U.S. Communities has a multi-state Advisory Board consisting of local government representatives.
U.S. Communities was created in 1994 to provide all local governments with the best products and services at the lowest procurement cost. Designed in cooperation with the Advisory Board, U.S. Communities pools the purchasing power of public agencies, achieves bulk volume discounts on behalf of public agencies and provides a national purchasing forum for public agencies nationwide.
