TIPS RFP 260806 — a cooperative contract for Holiday and Special Event Lighting, open to members nationwide
TIPS RFP 260806: Holiday and Special Event Lighting.
This is a cooperative contract, not a single job. TIPS — The Interlocal Purchasing System — is a division of Region 8 Education Service Center, a Texas governmental entity, and it runs the competitive procurement on behalf of its members. Winning this RFP puts your firm on a contract that member school districts, cities, counties and universities across the country can buy from directly, without each of them running its own bid. The solicitation is issued and opened in Texas; the work that follows can be anywhere a member is.
