Each buyer maintains its own unique product specifications and contract terms

• Incorporate your existing IFBs/RFBs and underlying documents or build an IFB/RFB online

Use of the DEPO platform is free of charge to buyers

• SLGs do not hire, contract with, or pay DEPO a fee
• They do not cede discretion to DEPO or to any private entity
• They evaluate their own bids and accept or reject them as they have in the pst
• If a buyer awards a contract, the contract is solely between the SLG and the supplier(s) it selects

All SLGs know the benefits of pooling their purchases, but also know they are difficult to organize

• DEPO takes the work out of pooling
