Government Procurement!

Introducing EMPIRE PROCURE CONNECT (EPC)—an innovative online e-procurement platform and marketplace designed exclusively for local governments, school districts, BOCES, and special districts located in NYS. Sponsored by Rockland, Orange, Ulster and Chemung counties, this revolutionary web-based hub streamlines the purchasing process by offering a wide range of products and services, all sourced from preferred vendors, pre-negotiated pricing, and current contracts.

  • Efficiency: Say goodbye to lengthy RFP’s, contract, and procurement processes. EPC provides a one-stop purchasing experience, saving you and your staff time and resources.
  • Compliance: All products and services available on EPC meet the competitive bidding requirements of general municipal law. We prioritize legal compliance, so you can focus on what matters most – serving your community.
  • Diverse Selection: Whether you’re looking for office supplies, IT equipment, maintenance services, or anything in between, the EPC marketplace offers a wide variety of items to meet your organization’s needs.

  • Cost Savings: By leveraging NYS Preferred Sources and competitively bid contracts, EPC helps you maximize cost savings without compromising quality.
