These fees add up—really add up—and agencies often get hit with far more of them than they realize.
Below is what we typically classify as hidden fees. These are in addition to the standard “administrative fees,” and this example comes from just one of several contracts where these extra charges are buried in the fine print
Monida believes these fees are excessive—and none of Monida’s contracts ever include them.
It’s no surprise that some cooperatives try to steer agencies away from GSA. But the reality is this:
Most state and local agencies can use GSA under the Cooperative Purchasing Program.
Eligible agencies may purchase equipment and related services from contracts awarded under:
• GSA Schedule 84 – Law Enforcement, Security, Facility Management Systems, Fire/Rescue, Special Purpose Clothing, Marine Craft, Emergency/Disaster Response
• GSA Schedule 70 – A wide range of Information Technology (IT) products, software, and services
And the data is clear:
We consistently see around a 10% reduction in cost when agencies leverage GSA.
Monida can design a simple, easy‑to‑use acquisition template that helps your team take full advantage of these savings—without the hidden fees, without the administrative fees, and without the inflated cooperative pricing
