SCOPE:
The purpose of this policy is to establish the standard commodity code structure for state agencies in conducting procurement and purchasing activities.
POLICY:
The National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) commodity code structure is a set of numbers used to identify commodities and services procured by the state.
The "living code" is a current listing of codes that can be updated by various states as necessary to meet the needs of the individual states, currently maintained by Periscope Holdings, Inc..
The "master file" is a listing of codes that is located on VendorNet and maintained by the State Bureau of Procurement (Bureau).
The NIGP commodity code structure, from the master file, will be used by all state agencies at the five-digit level as the state standard.
