We’re excited to announce that LSPS Solutions has been awarded a vendor contract (#250106) under the Technology Solutions Products and Services category by The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS), one of the largest cooperative purchasing programs in the United States. This contract makes it easier than ever for local governments, schools, and public entities across the country to partner with LSPS Solutions for artificial intelligence, automation, regulatory compliance, asset management, and other technology consulting services—without the delays or hurdles of traditional procurement.


This milestone strengthens LSPS Solutions’ growing role as a trusted innovation partner for the public sector. It also signals a shift in how municipalities and other government-funded entities can access cutting-edge AI tools and services—without needing to navigate complex RFP processes or build solutions from scratch.



What is TIPS and Why Does It Matter?


The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS) is a nationally recognized purchasing cooperative that streamlines the procurement process for public entities by providing competitively bid contracts with vetted vendors. With over 11,000 participating government agencies and educational institutions, TIPS helps organizations buy goods and services more efficiently—saving time, money, and administrative overhead.


For cities, counties, school districts, and special districts, the TIPS system eliminates the need to issue standalone bids or conduct lengthy evaluations. All pricing, scopes of work, and compliance requirements have already been reviewed by TIPS. Once a vendor is awarded a contract, any eligible member agency can piggyback on that contract to access those services immediately.


With LSPS Solutions now officially on that list, we’ve eliminated one of the biggest barriers that has historically slowed down government innovation: procurement.


What This Means for Public Agencies


Becoming an approved TIPS vendor means any agency that is a member of the cooperative—regardless of location—can now partner with LSPS Solutions through a simplified and fully compliant purchasing process. No need to issue your own RFP. No need to solicit quotes. No legal reviews or bid tabulations. TIPS has already handled that on your behalf.


All you have to do is reference our contract (#250106) and contact us to get started.

This opens the door for government agencies across the U.S. to work with LSPS Solutions on a broad range of initiatives, including:

  • AI strategy development

  • Regulatory compliance automation

  • Operations and maintenance digitalization

  • Citizen service chatbot deployment

  • Asset management system design

  • AI mentoring for staff

  • Custom software tools and dashboards

  • And more


Whether you’re in a town of 2,000 people or managing a regional utility district, you now have streamlined access to the same level of high-impact, modern technology support that we’ve delivered in cities across Texas.


The Growing Need for Scalable Innovation


Public sector agencies today face enormous pressure to do more with less—maintaining aging infrastructure, meeting evolving regulatory requirements, and serving increasingly digital-savvy residents with limited budgets and lean teams. Traditional IT solutions often fall short, either because they’re too rigid, too expensive, or too generic to meet the real-world needs of cities and counties.


That’s where LSPS Solutions makes a difference.


Our team works side-by-side with municipal leaders, public works departments, compliance officers, and administrative staff to design and deploy custom-built solutions that actually solve the problems at hand. We don’t just sell software—we deliver practical, hands-on support that starts with understanding how your agency works and ends with results your team can measure.


From designing AI tools that reduce permit backlogs to developing digital operations manuals that save hours in the field, we focus on use cases that matter.


Why Agencies Choose LSPS Solutions


At LSPS Solutions, we pride ourselves on being more than consultants—we’re partners in operational transformation. Our team brings deep experience in the public sector, having worked with municipalities, utility districts, and government-funded organizations of all sizes. We combine that experience with a robust understanding of how AI, automation, and smart systems can be tailored to specific departments and challenges.


Here’s what sets us apart:
