HGACBuy focuses on higher-ticket, capital-intensive products and services that require detailed and technical specifications. Offerings include heavy equipment, ambulances, fire trucks, buses and mowers.
Using HGACBuy contracts under the MARC interlocal agreement (ILA 04-1443) may simplify the purchase of public works equipment, fire and emergency apparatus, communications equipment and services, and several other products that may be difficult for an individual agency to bid out.
Vendor opportunities
HGACBuy is a growing nationwide program with end-users in most states. Contracts are established directly with manufacturers, nationwide distributors and other providers at a corporate level. Local dealers in the Kansas City region may be able to receive a contract assignment if the represented manufacturer is a contract holder. In the event a contract assignment cannot be completed, local dealers are included in delivery and provide pre-delivery inspections as well as warranty and service work.
