Federal Rules Are Not the Only Ones

BAA applies to direct federal purchases. BABA applies when federal funding pays for an infrastructure project, even if the buyer is a school district or state agency.

State law often triggers first. Many states have their own domestic sourcing statutes that apply whether or not federal money is involved, frequently at a low dollar threshold and frequently counting school districts as public agencies. Check your state’s rules alongside the federal one.

How Public Buildings Buy Fixtures

• State term contracts. Pre-awarded statewide contracts for electrical supplies. No separate solicitation needed.
• Cooperative agreements. Sourcewell, OMNIA Partners, NASPO ValuePoint, TIPS, and others hold competitively solicited contracts members can buy from directly.
• Competitive bid. Larger projects specify a basis of design with approved equals. Getting specified early matters.
• Direct purchase. Small retrofits below your bid threshold go through an approved distributor on quotes.
• Energy savings performance contracts. The upgrade is repaid from documented energy savings instead of upfront capital.
