Why Are Street Lights On During the Day? The Real Cost
You're driving past a parking lot at one in the afternoon, sun directly overhead, and every fixture on every pole is lit. Not flickering, not...
Procurement doesn’t have to be slow, complicated, or resource-heavy—especially when you’re sourcing solar lighting. If your organization is considering SEPCO solar lighting systems, cooperative contracts offer a faster, compliant path to purchase without running a full bid process.
Instead of starting from scratch with an RFP, you can leverage contracts that have already been competitively solicited, evaluated, and awarded. That means less time managing paperwork and more time moving your project forward. Start the conversation by filling out the form below.

A cooperative contract is a procurement vehicle established by a lead public agency that conducts a competitive solicitation on behalf of multiple organizations. Once awarded, other eligible entities can “piggyback” on the contract and purchase directly from approved vendors.
These contracts are designed to simplify the purchasing process while maintaining strict adherence to public procurement laws.
For buyers, that means:
Programs like HGACBuy operate as government-to-government procurement services, helping agencies nationwide access compliant contracts while saving time and administrative cost.
In short, cooperative contracts remove duplication. Instead of 100 agencies running 100 bids, one lead agency does it once—and everyone benefits.
Solar lighting projects often come with tight timelines, sustainability goals, and infrastructure demands. Cooperative contracts align perfectly with those needs.
SEPCO’s solar lighting solutions, used for streets, pathways, parking lots, and infrastructure, are already available through several cooperative agreements, making procurement significantly easier.
Here’s why organizations choose this route:
For municipalities, schools, and utilities, this approach allows teams to stay focused on project execution rather than procurement logistics.
SEPCO participates in multiple national and regional cooperative contracts, giving you flexibility to choose the one that best aligns with your organization’s requirements.

Even with cooperative contracts, small missteps can slow things down:
Taking a little extra time early can prevent delays later.
