RECITALS 
 
WHEREAS, after a competitive solicitation and selection process by Principal Procurement 
Agencies, in compliance with their own policies, procedures, rules and regulations, a number of 
suppliers have entered into “Master Agreements” (herein so called) to provide a variety of goods, 
products and services (“Products”) to the applicable Principal Procurement Agency and the 
Participating Public Agencies; 
 
WHEREAS, Master Agreements are made available by Principal Procurement Agencies through 
the OMNIA Partners Parties and provide that Participating Public Agencies may purchase 
Products on the same terms, conditions and pricing as the Principal Procurement Agency, subject 
to any applicable federal and/or local purchasing ordinances and the laws of the State of purchase; 
and 
 
WHEREAS, in addition to Master Agreements, the OMNIA Partners Parties may from time to 
time offer Participating Public Agencies the opportunity to acquire Products through other group 
purchasing agreements. 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, and 
of the mutual benefits to result, the parties hereby agree as follows: 
 
1. 
Each party will facilitate the cooperative procurement of Products. 
 
2. 
The Participating Public Agencies shall procure Products in accordance with and 
subject to the relevant federal, state and local statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations that govern 
Participating Public Agency’s procurement practices. The Participating Public Agencies hereby

Version January 12, 2024 
 
acknowledge and agree that it is the intent of the parties that all provisions of this Agreement and 
that Principal Procurement Agencies’ participation in the program described herein comply with 
all applicable laws, including but not limited to the requirements of 42 C.F.R. § 1001.952(j), as 
may be amended from time to time.  The Participating Public Agencies further acknowledge and 
agree that they are solely responsible for their compliance with all applicable “safe harbor” 
regulations, including but not limited to any and all obligations to fully and accurately report 
discounts and incentives. 
 
3. 
The Participating Public Agency represents and warrants that the Participating 
Public Agency is not a hospital or other healthcare provider and is not purchasing Products on 
behalf of a hospital or healthcare provider; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit 
Participating Public Agency from furnishing health care services so long as the furnishing of health 
care services is not in furtherance of a primary purpose of the Participating Public Agency.  
 
4. 
The cooperative use of Master Agreements shall be in accordance with the terms 
and conditions of the Master Agreements, except as modification of those terms and conditions is 
otherwise required by applicable federal, state or local law, policies or procedures. 
 
5. 
The Principal Procurement Agencies will make available, upon reasonable request, 
Master Agreement information which may assist in improving the procurement of Products by the 
Participating Public Agencies. 
 
6. 
The Participating Public Agency agrees the OMNIA Partners Parties may provide 
access to group purchasing organization (“GPO”) agreements directly or indirectly by enrolling 
the Participating Public Agency in another GPO’s purchasing program, provided that the purchase 
of Products through the OMNIA Partners Parties or any other GPO shall be at the Participating 
Public Agency’s sole discretion. 
 
7. 
The Participating Public Agencies (each a “Procuring Party”) that procure 
Products through any Master Agreement or GPO Product supply agreement (each a “GPO 
Contract”) will make timely payments to the distributor, manufacturer or other vendor 
(collectively, “Supplier”) for Products received in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 
Master Agreement or GPO Contract, as applicable. Payment for Products and inspections and 
acceptance of Products ordered by the Procuring Party shall be the exclusive obligation of such 
Procuring Party. Disputes between Procuring Party and any Supplier shall be resolved in 
accordance with the law and venue rules of the State of purchase unless otherwise agreed to by the 
Procuring Party and Supplier.  
 
8. 
The Procuring Party shall not use this Agreement as a method for obtaining 
additional concessions or reduced prices for purchase of similar products or services outside of the 
Master Agreement.  Master Agreements may be structured with not-to-exceed pricing, in which 
cases the Supplier may offer the Procuring Party and the Procuring Party may accept lower pricing 
or additional concessions for purchase of Products through a Master Agreement. 
 
9. 
The Procuring Party shall be responsible for the ordering of Products under this
