EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES THROUGH SMARTER PROCUREMENT: THE 1GPA ADVANTAGE In today’s ever-evolving public sector landscape, procurement is more than just purchasing—it’s about strategic partnerships, innovation, and creating lasting value for the communities we serve.At 1GPA, we believe that every contract we secure is an opportunity to enhance efficiency, drive cost savings, and ultimately improve the services that impact millions of lives. As a non-profit governmental purchasing cooperative, 1GPA connects public agencies with competitively procured contracts that save time, reduce administrative burdens, and ensure compliance with federal, state, and local procurement laws.
