IBTS Organization

IBTS was created and is jointly governed by representatives appointed by the National Governors' Association (NGA), the Council of State Governments (CSG), the National Association of Counties (NACo), the National League of Cities (NLC), and the International City/County Management Association (ICMA). Information about our current Board of Directors and Bylaws is available.

Contract and Grant Vehicles

Federal agencies can obtain IBTS's services with minimum paperwork using General Services Administration (GSA) schedules. State and local government can also obtain IBTS's information systems, services, and/or support through a cooperative agreement using GSA Schedule 70. As a public service organization, we are able to offer services to the government without going through a competitive procurement process.
