Unlock Cost-Savings: How Utah Nonprofits Can Leverage State Cooperative Contracts

April 10, 2026
/

Did you know that your nonprofit might be eligible to shop using the same massive buying power as the State of Utah? While many organizations negotiate their own individual deals, there is a way to skip the retail prices and tap into pre-negotiated, high-volume discounts designed to make every donor dollar go further.

Administered by the Utah Division of Purchasing & General Services, State Cooperative Contracts (SCCs) are available to eligible users, including state agencies, cities, counties, schools, colleges, and qualified nonprofit organizations. These contracts provide access to high-quality goods and services at competitive prices while helping organizations maximize limited resources.

With tight budgets, nonprofits benefit from SCCs because they combine purchasing power to secure volume-based pricing. Instead of paying retail or negotiating individually, nonprofits can use pre-negotiated contracts to achieve best value and make every dollar go further.
