NIGP

NIGP, or the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing, is an organization that provides guidance, standards, and resources for government agencies and organizations involved in procurement and purchasing. It helps ensure that buying processes are fair, transparent, and efficient, often through a standardized classification system called the NIGP commodity codes. These codes categorize products and services to streamline purchasing, improve communication, and promote best practices in public procurement. Overall, NIGP supports government entities in obtaining goods and services effectively, responsibly, and ethically.
