Welcome

The NIGP Commodity Code offers an excellent coding structure for standardizing purchasing. It is a natural fit with data warehousing and decision support reporting.

"A Purchasing Agent's BuyLaw" That's what we believe the NIGP Code can be. The NIGP Commodity Services Code was developed by the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing to bring efficiency to automated purchasing. Since 1983 the NIGP Code has been adopted by more than 1,400 government users and continues to grow. The Code has experienced remarkable growth, primarily due to user input.
