SmithCo Mfg. Inc., a side dump trailer designer and manufacturing company located in Le Mars, Iowa, announced on Jan. 5, 2026, that it was awarded a nationwide cooperative purchasing contract for Public Works Equipment by the Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) Cooperative Purchasing Program (HGACBuy).
This contract award, secured through a rigorous competitive solicitation process, allows local governments, district, counties and state agencies across the nation to buy SmithCo Side Dump Trailers at pre-negotiated, favorable terms.
"This partnership with HGACBuy should streamline the procurement process for government agencies," said Todd Karolczak, SmithCo's director of sales and marketing. "This contract eliminates the need for agencies to duplicate the competitive bidding process, allowing for easier access to the most popular SmithCo trailers."
H-GAC has served local governments for more than 40 years. The HGAC Buy program allows a collaboration with local governments to provide the best value in goods and services through cooperative purchasing. The organization serves 49 states and more than 9,800 members. These members include local governments as well as some nonprofit organizations.
