Frequently Asked Questions
Is RFxPremier a rebrand of NASPO ValuePoint or is it a new entity?
If we have a NASPO ValuePoint Contract, will we still maintain our NVP Master Agreement?
Yes. RFxPremier will be a separate cooperative and contracts held by suppliers through NVP will retain those contracts through NVP.
How are vendors awarded contracts under the RFxPremier cooperative?
- RFxPremier will use several procurement methodologies for contract portfolios. The first will be a Lead Entity model where an entity will draft and post the solicitation on their e-procurement system and resulting contracts will be held by the Lead Entity but made available through RFxPremier.
- The second methodology will be adopting existing contract portfolios through amendments. This will be done through the contract holding entity and the supplier.
