President Bush Signs SIA-Authored Cooperative Purchasing Legislation
On June 26, 2008 President Bush signed The Local Preparedness Acquisition Act, extending cooperative purchasing to GSA Schedule 84. The law, authored by SIA, will ensure state and local governments can purchase fire alarm systems, access control devices, perimeter security and video surveillance systems and countless other homeland security goods and services, at GSA-approved reduced prices. This is a major legislative victory for SIA and is the first piece of legislation ever drafted by the organization to become law.Cooperative Purchasing Guidance(pdf).
