The term NASPO ValuePoint is widely recognized as one of the most trusted cooperative procurement programs in the country, helping public entities streamline purchasing while expanding access to qualified vendors. ATA Services holds the NASPO Master Agreement (often referred to within the NASPO ValuePoint program), which allows organizations to use ATA’s staffing services without undergoing an additional competitive bid process. This contract supports staffing not just for government clients, but for multiple workforce categories and diverse organizational needs.
What Is NASPO ValuePoint?
It is the cooperative purchasing arm of the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO). Its purpose is simple: provide states, local governments, higher‑education institutions, and other eligible entities with pre‑competed, high‑quality master agreements they can use immediately.
Under the agreement model, one “Lead State” conducts the competitive sourcing process on behalf of all participating states. Once awarded, approved vendors like ATA Services can provide contracted services to any participating state or public agency that signs a Participating Addendum (PA).
This means:
- No separate RFP required
- Consistent contract terms across states
- Faster access to trusted staffing providers
- Clear pricing and service categories
While NASPO ValuePoint is widely used by public agencies, the staffing categories approved within the master agreement support a broad range of industries—not only government offices.
How ATA Services Fits Into NASPO ValuePoint Contracting
ATA Services, a Hispanic and Vietnam‑Era Veteran‑Owned Small Business founded in 1994, provides staffing across more than 30 states and has placed over 5,000 personnel nationwide. Through the NASPO Master Agreement, ATA is approved to deliver a wide scope of temporary employment services, including:
- Administrative Support
(office assistants, clerical staff, receptionists, file clerks) - Commercial / Industrial Workers
(warehouse workers, laborers, equipment operators) - Healthcare Staffing
(clinical and non‑clinical roles, including medical support positions) - Information Technology
(help desk, tech support, system specialists, IT project roles) - Professional Services (Non‑IT)
(analysts, coordinators, specialists, and other skilled positions)
These categories reflect the wide range of roles ATA can fill—not only within government agencies, but also within any organization able to procure through the NASPO Master Agreement framework.
Why Organizations Use It for Staffing Solutions
Whether a state agency, university, healthcare organization, or public‑sector department, NASPO ValuePoint offers several advantages:
1. Faster Hiring & Reduced Administrative Burden
Since ATA’s services are already competitively sourced, organizations avoid lengthy RFP cycles and can use the master agreement to fill roles more quickly.
2. Transparent Contracting & Pricing
NASPO ValuePoint ensures consistent terms, predictable pricing, and clarity in staffing categories—making budgeting and procurement much simpler.
3. Multi‑Industry Workforce Access
Staffing needs vary widely across public organizations, and ATA’s NASPO-approved categories meet diverse demands ranging from clerical support to industrial labor and specialized healthcare roles.
4. Reliable, Pre‑Vetted Vendor
ATA’s inclusion in this agreement indicates that the company has already met strict competitive and compliance requirements, giving participating agencies confidence in quality and reliability.
How to Engage ATA Services Through NASPO
Government entities and eligible organizations can begin using ATA Services through NASPO by executing a Participating Addendum (PA) with their state or department. Once the PA is active, ATA can immediately provide staffing services across any of the approved categories.
This allows organizations to:
- Fill short‑term, long‑term, or project‑based roles
- Scale up quickly for seasonal or operational demands
- Access talent across administrative, industrial, IT, healthcare, and professional fields
- Work with a staffing partner already familiar with public‑sector needs and compliance requirements
ATA’s national reach and mature recruiting systems ensure consistent service delivery across all participating states.
