Purchasing off cooperative contracts enables Minnesota State institutions to use competitively solicited agreements established by other public entities or cooperatives. This process streamlines procurement but does not exempt the institution from Minnesota State’s internal policies, approval thresholds, and documentation requirements.

To conduct business with Minnesota State Colleges and Universities, suppliers must register in the Statewide Integrated Financial Tools (SWIFT) system, managed by the Minnesota Department of Administration. This registration is essential for receiving payments, responding to solicitations, and entering into contracts with Minnesota State.

"View Contract": Requires being signed into JAGGAER – View the full contract setup before approving.
"Click here to approve the Contract": Access the Summary Page – Approve directly using the approval code, without logging in.
