InterAct Public Safety Systems (https://www.hgacbuy.org/default.html) cooperative purchasing program. Following a competitive request for proposal (RFP) process, the HGACBuy cooperative purchasing program makes systems from InterAct available for purchase in Texas and 26 other states without each local government having to conduct the RFP process themselves.
HGACBuy establishes procedures for purchase that are used by other local governments. Essentially the program expedites the process of purchasing equipment and services as many roadblocks
and red-tape are eliminated. The program sets prerequisites for companies that participate through the RFP process and are awarded a contract; therefore, when a purchaser is interested in
a service they already know that the company in the program is compliant with the appropriate procedures. The contract offers products such as, 9-1-1 systems (http://www.interact911.com
