TIPS contract expands access to GP Agency’s insurance and benefits consulting services for eligible TIPS members.
RALEIGH, NC, UNITED STATES, September 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — GP Agency (GPA), a national insurance brokerage and benefits consulting firm, has been awarded a contract through The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS), a national cooperative purchasing program serving public entities and qualifying nonprofit organizations across the United States.
GPA was awarded a TIPS Contract for Consulting and Other Related Services, effective through August 31, 2031.
The contract provides eligible TIPS members with an established cooperative purchasing pathway to engage GPA for services available under the awarded contract, helping simplify the procurement process for organizations seeking experienced insurance and benefits consulting support.
“For nearly 60 years, GPA has focused on helping organizations navigate benefits with greater clarity, structure and support,” said Chris Gaddis, Co-President of GP Agency. “Being awarded a TIPS contract gives us another way to bring that experience to public-sector organizations while working within the procurement processes that are important to them.”
TIPS is a national purchasing cooperative administered by Region 8 Education Service Center in Texas. Through a competitive procurement process, TIPS awards contracts to qualified vendors that can then be utilized by participating public entities and qualifying nonprofit organizations, subject to applicable procurement requirements.
For GPA, the award expands the firm’s ability to support organizations across the country through a recognized cooperative purchasing framework.
“This is an important step in continuing to expand how organizations can access GPA,” said Chris Gaddis, Co-President of GP Agency. “Public entities have unique procurement requirements, and the TIPS contract creates a more efficient avenue for eligible organizations to explore the solutions, expertise and support GPA can provide.”
GPA’s TIPS vendor profile and contract information are available through the TIPS website.
