Frequently Asked Questions: Therap Services & NASPO ValuePoint
What is NASPO ValuePoint?
NASPO ValuePoint is a cooperative purchasing program run by the National Association of State Procurement Officials. It offers state, local, and educational institutions an efficient, cost-effective way to procure products and services without running a separate RFP for every purchase.
How does purchasing through NASPO ValuePoint make procurement easier?
Rather than issuing and evaluating a full RFP, your organization can purchase directly from Therap's already competitively-solicited contract, provided your state or entity has the proper agreement in place. This can significantly cut down on procurement time and administrative overhead.
Is Therap an awarded supplier on NASPO ValuePoint?
Yes. Therap Services LLC is one of the awarded suppliers under NASPO ValuePoint's Cloud and Software Solutions portfolio, which covers SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, and on-premises solutions.
What do I need to check before purchasing?
You'll want to confirm whether your state has a Participating Addendum (PA) in place for Therap's contract. A PA outlines which entities in your state — such as agencies, counties, cities, universities, or school districts — are authorized to buy under the agreement.
What if my state or organization doesn't have a PA yet?
If there's no statewide PA or approval memo on file, your organization can email a request to your state's Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) for authority to execute its own PA. Therap's team can help you figure out who to contact.
Does NASPO ValuePoint handle the actual purchase or paperwork?
No. NASPO ValuePoint facilitates the contract, but it does not issue purchase orders or manage individual transactions — each state or local entity retains its own procurement authority and follows its own procedures.
Who is eligible to purchase through this contract?
Eligible entities generally include state agencies, counties, cities, public universities, school districts, and other public entities, depending on your state's specific PA.
