Rebates
The Cooperative has a long history of issuing rebates to members inside the state of Texas. Since 2006, we have rebated just over $33.8 million to our governmental membership—a claim no other Texas-based cooperative can make. For the most year 2015-2016, $6.9 million was rebated. The rebate is reflective of the program’s value, benefit, and nonprofit administration. All rebates are at the discretion of the Cooperative's Board of Trustees.
Compliance and Transparency
​
Contracts and vendors awarded through BuyBoard have been competitively procured, to assist members with Compliance with Texas local and state procurement requirements and a documented audit trail.
Transparency in the procurement process is treated with a high degree of focus and is of paramount importance.
All vendors are treated on equal terms and are on the same plane of competition.
