Government Purchasing

Buying through a cooperative


Schools, cities, and other public agencies can buy from us through a partner’s TIPS contract. TIPS is a purchasing cooperative that many Texas agencies use in place of a separate bid. Lighthouse prices the job under that contract. The contract belongs to our partner, not to us.
