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 $1.9 Billion annually under NIGP 968-34, generating 210+ Bids active Invitations for Bid (IFBs), Requests for Proposals (RFPs), and informal quote requests each year.
