Counselors:

The Purchasing Cooperative of America, based in Texas, is a cooperative group that solicits bids for contracts for various good s and services.  They enter into Interlocal Agreements with municipalities and other governmental entities to purchase under the PCA contracts in lieu of separate competitive bidding.  Have any of your municipalities used PCA, or have any of you reviewed the PCA processes to determine whether its bidding processes meet the requirements of Oklahoma law competitive bidding statutes?
