The Chief Procurement Officer for General Services administers a joint and coopertive purchasing program branded as the Unified Procurement Program (UPP). UPP offers significant benefits to governmental units and qualified not-for-profit agencies.

By using master contracts made available through UPP, you save time by not conducting your own procurements and save money through the favorable prices the State receives. So, before you start your next procurement, consider using our staff resources and the State's massive buying power.

You've found the right website to learn more about the CPO's joint purchasing opportunities. The next step is to look around. If you've got questions, we encourage you to email us at CPO.UPP@illinois.gov.
