# NIGP Categories The NIGP (National Institute of Governmental Purchasing) Code is a standardized classification system used for organizing products and services for purchase by state and local governments. The system is designed to facilitate the procurement process by providing a detailed, systematic method for identifying, describing, and categorizing goods and services. It enables government entities and their suppliers to communicate more efficiently and effectively about procurement needs and offerings.
