The Texas SmartBuy Membership Program is the new name for the State of Texas Cooperative (CO-OP) Purchasing Program. We’re your Texas trusted purchasing partner for local government and state funded assistance organization buyers for over 30 years. As a service from the Comptroller’s office, the state purchasing cooperative promotes best value procurements through state contract usage at the local level. The state offers Texas sized savings from its multi-billion dollar purchasing volume as the estimated #10 economy in the world. The Texas SmartBuy Membership Program empowers state funded local buyers such as cities, counties and school districts with access to the same best value and competitively bid statewide contracts as our state agencies. A Texas SmartBuy Membership harnesses the state’s purchasing power and puts it to work in your local community.
