How purchasing works

Three steps from quote to purchase order

  1. 01

    Confirm your cooperative

    Check that your agency belongs to, or can use, one of the four contracts above. Most are free to join.

  2. 02

    Request a quote

    Tell us which contract you use. We’ll prepare a quote with that contract’s pricing and terms.

  3. 03

    Issue your purchase order

    Purchase through Vertosoft on the cooperative contract, using your normal purchase order process.

Vertosoft

Alltus cooperative contracts are held through Vertosoft, a public sector distributor. Your purchase order and invoice come from Vertosoft on the cooperative contract you choose.

Carahsoft

Alltus is also available through Carahsoft, a government IT solutions provider. If your agency already buys through Carahsoft, you can purchase Alltus on the contracts you use with them today.

Questions

Common questions from procurement teams

Do we need to be a member of the cooperative?
Most cooperatives are free to join, and your procurement team can confirm eligibility quickly. We’re happy to help you check.
Can we still pay with a purchase order?
Yes. You issue a purchase order to Vertosoft on the cooperative contract, the same way you would with other cooperative purchases.
Which contract should we use?
Usually the one your agency already uses for other purchases. If you’re not sure, we’ll help you choose.
