Caterpillar announced that it had joined the NJPA Consortium, which would enable it deliver solutions more easily and less expensively to government agencies.

The NJPA reduces the time and expense of the purchasing process by using a nationally bid contract to:

Avoid the time-consuming process of putting bids together

Avoid time spent waiting for responses

Avoid the unpredictability of a low-bid scenario

Agencies may join free of charge by filling out the membership form at http://www.njpacoop.org/JOIN/Member_Benefits.html. The NJPA is a nationally recognized member-owned cooperative.
