Across all 50 states, over 33 state central purchasing offices and thousands of county governments, municipal utilities, public university systems, transit authorities, and K-12 school districts obligate approximately $2.1 Billion annually under NIGP 918-71, generating 340+ Bids active Invitations for Bid (IFBs), Requests for Proposals (RFPs), and informal quote requests each year. The NIGP taxonomy uses a hierarchical structure where the 3-digit Class (918) identifies the broad commodity or service family (Consulting Services) and the 5-digit Class-Item code (918-71) pinpoints the specific service (cyber advisory) deliverable.
