"We know the thousands of public agencies and nonprofits that use our contracts vary in size, location, resources, and access to vendors. From the small rural school or the nonprofit with a few employees to the largest urban city or county, needs vary greatly. The CPC team continually listens to members so that we can provide a diverse group of vendor contracts able to provide value across the public spectrum."
