Frequently Asked Questions
-
How do I become a TIPS member?
Tips-usa.com provides a step-by-step process for becoming a member. There may be state-specific requirements but joining is free.
-
How are TIPS contracts awarded to vendors?
TIPS posts an RFP/RFQ for a specific product/service with a deadline date and time for submission of responses
TIPS collects all incoming proposals submitted prior to the advertised deadline. A scoring committee reviews and scores all proposals based on the established criteria. Vendors receiving at least the minimum score required for the award as provided in the solicitation are then presented to the Region 8 ESC Board of Directors at the regular monthly meeting to consider final approval of a TIPS contract to sell the proposed products/services
The ESC Board of Directors has final approval authority of all awarded vendor contracts.
