Blog Post  Cost-Effective and Sustainable Purchasing for Eligible Non-Profits

The Operational Services Division (OSD) offers two ways for eligible non-profit organizations to acquire sustainable and cost-effective products: the Non-Profit Purchasing and Surplus Property Programs. 

Non-profit businesses providing human and social services under contract with the state are automatically eligible to participate in these programs. Additionally, non-profits receiving public funding may apply for eligibility by completing an annual review and submitting qualifying documentation.

Program Benefits

Through OSD’s Non-Profit Purchasing Programs, organizations may procure a wide range of Statewide Contract products and services at advantageous pricing, including those that meet environmentally preferable standards. Our flyer for Non-Profits highlights specific contracts that support sustainable purchasing. 

Another option for non-profits is the Surplus Property Program, managed by OSD’s State Surplus Property Office (SSPO). Nonprofit organizations may acquire used furniture, equipment, and other items no longer needed by state agencies. Eligible organizations are charged a small administrative fee for the transfer of surplus property. 

Explore these programs to access sustainable products and cost-saving opportunities for your organization. Read the flyer for Non-Profits to learn more.
