Contract with Transit

Transit makes it easy for your agency to purchase our services — with sole-source justifications, membership in cooperative purchasing lists, and sample RFP requirements at the ready. If you’re uncertain whether your agency can leverage a cooperative purchasing list, please reach out to us for guidance.

When you're ready to purchase Transit’s services, we’re happy to share our standard contract for your team to review. Since our services don’t always fit neatly into standard software/SaaS templates, using our contract is often the best way forward. That said, if internal policy requires using your own contract template, we can work with that too. Either way, our team is here to help make the contracting process smooth and straightforward.

US Cooperative Purchasing

Cooperative purchasing programs allow public sector agencies to buy services at pre-negotiated rates without needing to run their own procurement process. Transit’s services can be procured through several cooperative purchasing contracts in the US, including:

• OMNIA Partners
• TIPS (The Interlocal Purchasing System)
• GSA (General Services Administration)
• CMAS (California Multiple Award Schedules)
• Sourcewell (a member-based CoOp, available in all 50 states)

Transit works with a reseller to handle contracting and billing through these US cooperative purchasing contracts. If you're unsure whether your agency is on a cooperative purchasing list, feel free to reach out—we can look into it for you.

Get in touch with partners@transit.app  — we’d be happy to prepare a quote that leverages one of these contract vehicles.
