You can trust and enjoy CSG as a vetted reseller, providing you with a high standard of service and solutions to meet your GSA-MAS needs. Use of a GSA-MAS contract allows for a streamlined procurement process and access to pre-vetted vendors offering you the best value for hardware.

Cooperative Contracts 

Connected Solutions Group is also an authorized reseller on a variety of Cooperative Contracts, including: NASPO, NCPA, EQUALIS, PEPPM, OMNIA, and TX-DIR. CSG is able to offer your organization a variety of helpful hardware and services on these contracts. These Cooperative Contracts allow CSG to sell to customers in the SLED space and at times at the Federal level. By utilizing a cooperative contract, you can speed up your purchasing process and gain access to competitive pricing. This way, as a SLED customer, you can get the best value for your purchases.

In order to be GSA-MAS capable, a vendor must meet certain requirements, such as demonstrating its financial stability, complying with federal regulations, and offering competitive prices.  GSA-MAS contracts are awarded to vendors who have demonstrated their ability to meet rigorous standards for quality, price, and performance.

Being NASPO capable means that CSG has the ability to fulfill procurement contracts and requirements for state governments and other public entities that are members of NASPO.  NASPO is a cooperative purchasing program that helps state and local government agencies leverage their buying power to obtain competitive pricing and better terms on commonly purchased goods and services. CSG meets certain qualifications and requirements set forth by NASPO and the specific state or agency issuing the procurement contract. These qualifications include experience in the relevant industry, financial stability, and adherence to ethical and legal standards.
