Summer Time is around the corner! Ah, this warms my heart for so many reasons… spending time with family and friends, swimming, chocolate snowballs with marshmallow, chasing Mr. Softie’s ice cream truck through the neighborhood to get a cone… Did I mention chocolate snowballs? It also means time is closing in if you plan on attending NIGP’s 2018 National Forum in Nashville, Tennessee in mid-August! There’s still time to register, but you’re losing time. Check out the link for all things Forum on MPPA’s website and get a movin’! And don’t forget to consider requesting scholarship money from MPPA. You have to be a member in good standing. If you can’t make Forum, perhaps attending the Regional Conference might work for you. This year, the Pennsylvania Public Purchasing Association (PAPPA) will be hosting the 2018 NIGP Area 2 conference on Oct 24-26 in King of Prussia, PA. For more information, check out their website at http://pappainc.org/index.php and the video at the bottom of their registration page.
If you missed our April 27th “Free Training Day” at the Community College of Baltimore County (BCCC), you missed some great information, comradery, and lunch. Not to worry though, because we’ve posted our Speakers’ presentations on MPPA’s website at www.mppa.inc.org, under “Presentations”.
How about a MPPA picnic in September? This meeting would be on a Saturday, not during the week. We’re thinking of a pot luck or burgers, dogs and fixin’s menu. But before we start making any arrangements, we need to gauge your interest in attending. This would be a relaxed social event, held in Anne Arundel or Baltimore County. Interested? If so, please email me to let me know right away. Gotta run, but looking forward to seeing you soon!
Respectfully, Donna DiCerbo, CPPO, CPPB 2018 MPPA President

Cooperative purchasing activities provide Resource Equilibrium. This term can be taken many different ways but the main point is that we live in a time where procurement professionals can manage their spend with the same buying strength and on equal footing with any size organization. Buyers can pick and choose what they bid for individually, and leverage their buying power with aggregating volumes from other organizations to achieve greater savings. That puts the purchasing office with 3 buyers on the same buying power level as a purchasing office with 10 buyers. Resident economies of scale are held individually by large entities but cooperative purchasing can level the playing field and extend Aggregated economies of scale to even the smallest entities that choose to function as a lead agency and bring in the buying volumes of other entities.
The truth is, expertise, best practices and passion are held by individual buyers whether they are with a consortium, large or small entity. Tapping into these talents and pracitces where ever they exist is just smart business. Today’s procurement manager wants to tap into the region’s and even nation’s top professionals and best practices. Using cooperative contracts is a way of accessing additional professional resources beyond your current staffing. At the same time it will save you time, money, training dollars, and acelerates implementation schedules. It also allows a buyer to devote more attention to other matters that cannot be resolved through cooperative purchasing.
According to the NIGP 2017 Survey Report, 95% of those polled use cooperative
purchasing in their delivery of services. Approximately, 73% are using cooperative contracts to account for less than 25% of their spend. It is safe to say that cooperative purchasing is an essential tool in the purchasing office toolbox, with lots of room to grow in its usage. In today’s environment, the purchasing manager will begin to consider cooperative purchasing more strategicly, as that additional resource, and access to expertise that may be needed to round out the purchasing team. They will also consider taking lead rolls, regardless of their size, if they possess the expertise and can leverage best pricing
