What are the differences between the Cooperative Purchasing Program and the Disaster Recovery Purchasing Program?

The primary distinctions between the Cooperative Purchasing Program and the Disaster Recovery Purchasing Program involve the particular GSA Schedules authorized for use and the conditions under which products and services may be purchased.

 The Cooperative Purchasing Program authorizes state and local government entities to purchase products and services from contracts awarded under GSA Schedule 70, the Consolidated Schedule (IT SINs), and Schedule 84. The Cooperative Purchasing Program places no restrictions on how or when the products and services may be used.

 The Disaster Recovery Purchasing Program authorizes state and local government entities to purchase products and services from contracts awarded under all GSA Schedules. The products and services purchased under the Disaster Recovery Purchasing Program may be used to facilitate recovery from a major disaster, terrorism, or nuclear, biological, chemical, or radiological attack. State and local government entities may use GSA Schedule contracts to purchase products and services in advance of a disaster declared by the president, as well as in the aftermath of an emergency event.
