Goodbuy purchasing questions

Do we need to issue our own RFP or bid to buy eCourtDate?
Goodbuy has already competitively procured the contract. Texas Local Government Code Sec. 271.102(c) provides that a local government that purchases through a cooperative purchasing program “satisfies any state law requiring the local government to seek competitive bids for the purchase of the goods or services.” Your purchasing agent or county attorney determines how that applies to your purchase.
Is our county or city eligible to use Goodbuy?
Yes. City and county governmental entities are eligible Goodbuy members, along with school districts, colleges, universities, and nonprofits. Check the Members Directory to see whether your agency has already joined.
What if we are not a Goodbuy member yet?
Join through the Join Goodbuy page, which sets up an interlocal agreement with ESC Region 2. Contact Goodbuy directly for current membership terms.
How do we find eCourtDate in the system?
Open the Active Contracts list and search for “eCourtDate.” The award sits under the broad category 26-27 6U000 Computer: Software, so searching by vendor name is faster than browsing.
Which eCourtDate products can we buy through the contract?
The award documents list the products and pricing covered: software subscriptions, add-on modules, usage credits, and professional services in the awarded eCourtDate catalog. Ask eCourtDate for a quote, and we will confirm which products fall under the Goodbuy award.
Is pricing set by the contract?
Yes. Your quote references the pricing and terms in eCourtDate’s Goodbuy award, so your agency does not negotiate them from scratch.
Do we still need Commissioners Court or council approval?
Usually, yes. A cooperative contract addresses how the purchase is procured, not your internal approval process. Follow your agency’s normal thresholds for purchase approval.
Can we use federal or grant funds?
Goodbuy states that all of its contracts are EDGAR compliant, which supports purchases made with federal funds. Check your specific grant’s requirements with your grants office.
Who do we send the purchase order to?
Send it directly to eCourtDate, citing the Goodbuy contract. eCourtDate reports the sale to Goodbuy.
What documents are available for our procurement file?
The solicitation and award documents are published on Goodbuy’s Awarded Bid Info portal, and eCourtDate provides a quote that references the Goodbuy contract. Your procurement team determines what your file requires.
