NJPA - About Us - (Page 2) THE BASICS NATIONAL JOINT POWERS ALLIANCE® The National Joint Powers Alliance® (NJPA), is a governmental agency operating under the enabling authority outlined in Minnesota Statute 123A.21. This statute was created in 1978 and revised in 1995 to allow participating governmental and municipal agencies to reduce the cost of purchased goods by leveraging their combined purchasing power. NJPA is also guided and enabled by M.S. 471.59, the Joint Exercise of Powers which defines the ability of two or more governmental agencies to enter into an agreement to contract in common through the action of each of the governing bodies, which includes the ability to enter into cooperative agreements. As such, we are a Member-owned cooperative, serving all public and non-public educational systems, governmental agencies and all non-profits. NJPA establishes and provides nationally leveraged and competitively solicited purchasing contracts in cooperation with the Uniform Municipal Contracting Law, M.S. 471.345 Subd. 15. One general purpose of the NJPA is to create and host a national municipal association’s purchasing cooperative or alliance. The goal is to provide Members with requested programs and services created, coordinated and delivered through a cooperative effort between all participating Members. Mike Hajek Director of Business Development & Marketing mike.hajek@njpacoop.org 218-894-5477 NJPA is endorsed by, and is partnered with, the American Association of School Administrators (AASA), the National High School Athletic Coaches Association (NHSACA) and the National Organization of Coaches Association Directors (NOCAD).
