Under this Agreement the parties may sponsor, conduct, and/or administer a cooperative agreement for the procurement or disposal of any materials, services or construction. The Parties may cooperatively use materials or services or commonly use or share warehousing facilities, capital equipment and other facilities. Further the Parties may provide personnel, except that the requesting Party shall pay the Party providing the personnel the direct and indirect cost of providing personnel.  In addition, the Parties on request and subject to reimbursement of reasonable and necessary costs when applicable, make available to each other informational, technical or other services or software that may assist in improving the efficiency or economy of procurement.
