Cooperative purchasing is legal in every state — but knowing your bid threshold, defending a sole source, and proving you did it right later are three different problems. This hub is 11 free tools built to solve all three, provided at no cost by Edge Public and kept current as statutes change.
"I built this because procurement rules shouldn't require a law degree to find. I've spent my career in public sector sales, watching good people lose hours to answers that should've taken five minutes. Everything here is free, and it stays current because I use it too. If something's wrong or missing, tell me directly — I'll fix it."
This is the actual Bid Threshold Lookup tool, running right here. Pick your state and entity type — the answer is real, sourced from the same data as every tool in the hub.
