What is the Ohio STS?

Ohio State Term Schedule is a cooperative purchasing program available to select municipalities in Ohio. Created by the Cooperative Purchasing ACT of 1985, this voluntary program’s membership has increased from 515 members in 1991 to more than 1,700 members to date. The cooperative’s members are comprised of counties, townships, municipalities, fire districts, school districts, public libraries, regional transit authorities, park districts, and other authorities throughout the state.

Ohio STS strives to make the government procurement process more efficient. Members are empowered to buy goods and services at state-discounted prices using approved state government contractors. Becoming an Ohio STS member is quick, easy and inexpensive.
