Public Contract Code Section 20118 authorizes school districts and other public agencies to “piggyback” from contracts publicly bid by other agencies, provided the originating agency’s bid documents contain a piggyback option. This allows purchasing or leasing equipment, material or supplies from said vendor utilizing the same terms and conditions that are available to the public agency under the contract.
The North County Educational Purchasing Consortium, in compliance with Public Code 20118, has contracted with various vendors, including Fruth Group, Konica Minolta Business Solutions, Inc., Kyocera Document Solutions and Toshiba Business Solutions under Bid Number: 2016-04B. The aforementioned contract has included a “Piggybacking” clause, allowing school districts to piggyback for items listed on the contract. |
