While TIPS does all that it can to comply with and exceed the bidding requirements for most public entities, because the laws applicable vary by entity-type, location, spend amount, purchase type, and the purchaser’s local policies, TIPS cannot legally advise any Member/End-User when a TIPS purchase is appropriate.  It is always the responsibility of the Member/End-User to review TIPS’ processes and determine if a TIPS cooperative procurement is appropriate for any particular purchase or entity prior to proceeding with a TIPS procurement.
