Does Your Agency Qualify for Our COOP?
Does Your Organization Qualify for Eleserv’s Awarded COOP Contract for Skills Assessments?
Public sector agencies know how challenging it can be to modernize hiring, onboarding, or workforce development while working within traditional procurement cycles. Even when HR leaders know exactly what tools they need, procurement timelines often slow progress to a crawl.
This is why cooperative purchasing contracts have become a strategic shortcut. Eleserv Talent Solutions holds an awarded government cooperative contract for Recruitment Assessment and Testing Services, which allows public sector organizations to access validated, ADA aligned skills assessments without issuing their own RFP or running a lengthy competitive bid process.
If you are wondering whether your agency qualifies, this guide will help you understand how cooperative purchasing works, who is eligible, and why your organization may already have access today.
What Is the Eleserv COOP Contract?
Eleserv is listed as a vendor under a government cooperative purchasing contract for Recruitment Assessment and Testing Services. This contract authorizes agencies to purchase skills assessments, hiring and screening tests, job readiness evaluations, workforce development testing tools, and internal mobility assessments.
Because this contract has already gone through a competitive solicitation and award process, public agencies can purchase from it immediately while remaining fully compliant with procurement rules.
Who Typically Qualifies for Cooperative Purchasing?
Cooperative contracts are designed so that multiple public sector entities can purchase from them without needing to run a separate RFP. Agencies that commonly participate include cities, counties, states, school districts, public safety organizations, utilities, transportation departments, and special districts.
If your procurement team regularly uses cooperative purchasing for other goods or services, there is a strong likelihood your organization is already eligible.
How to Know If Your Agency Is Eligible In most cases, your agency qualifies if:
You participate in cooperative purchasing agreements. You are a public sector entity such as a city, county, state agency, district, or public organization. Your procurement policy allows use of competitively solicited contracts awarded by another public agency. You need skills assessments or workforce evaluation tools.

The COOP contract removes procurement delays so agencies can begin benefiting from these tools quickly.
