The Committee's Mission Statement sets forth the criteria which must be met before a program will be considered for endorsement. The program must:
- Offer a product or service superior to others in the marketplace;
- Provide significant cost savings to the membership;
- Provide adequate compensation to the Association as reimbursement for administrative cost and for the institutional value of the endorsement; and,
- Provide the potential for product refinement as a result of the IACT endorsement.
All IACT endorsed programs have been deemed to meet these criteria. Each offers a specialized and beneficial product or service to the IACT membership. Additional information on these programs may be obtained by contacting the companies directly or the IACT office.

U.S. Communities Government Purchasing Alliance is a nonprofit government purchasing cooperative that assists local and state government agencies, school districts (K-12), higher education, and nonprofits in reducing the cost of purchased goods through pooling the purchasing power of public agencies nationwide. This is accomplished through competitively solicited contracts for quality products through lead public agencies. Today more than 37,800 public agencies utilize U.S. Communities contracts and suppliers to procure more that 1 billion dollars in products and services annually. Each month more than 400 new public agencies register to participate. The continuing rapid growth of public agency participation is fueled by the program's proven track record of providing public agencies unparallel value. U.S. Communities is committed to providing purchasing solutions to local and state government agencies, school districts (K-12), higher education, and nonprofits.
