About CivicBuys
As a key division of Enterprise and Procurement Services at the Foundation for California Community Colleges, CivicBuys specializes in procurement services tailored exclusively for municipalities and state government agencies. We are dedicated to maximizing value and driving down costs in public sector procurement by offering competitive pricing on a broad array of products and services. These range from essential office supplies and equipment to advanced lighting systems and park playground equipment.
Efficient Procurement for Public Sector Entities
CivicBuys is committed to saving substantial amounts of money for public entities each year, providing cost-effective solutions in areas like software, janitorial supplies, and park equipment. By harnessing the collective purchasing power of various government agencies across California, we act as a group purchasing organization to secure the best-value deals.
Backed by Statutory Authority
CivicBuys is a program of the Foundation for California Community Colleges. Through FoundationCCC’s authority, delegated by the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office, we leverage the buying power of the 116 California Community Colleges as well as other educational and public agencies across California to develop contracts that best serve their needs. Public agencies may use FoundationCCC agreements without having to conduct their own bidding process as allowable based on respective piggybacking guidelines and citations (e.g. local municipal procurement code).
