The Achievement of Excellence in Procurement® (AEP) is awarded annually. This prestigious award is earned by those organizations that demonstrate excellence by obtaining a high score based on standardized criteria. The criteria are designed to measure innovation, professionalism, productivity, e-procurement, and leadership attributes of the procurement organization. NPI is proud to be the founding sponsor of the Achievement of Excellence in Procurement (AEP) Award, entering its 13th year of recognizing excellence in public purchasing.

BREAKING NEWS: NPI, Inc. is now the National Procurement Institute, Inc.
The results of the vote have been tabulated and over 97% of the voting membership endorsed the name change to National Procurement Institute, Inc.
You will see our new name on our website and printed material in the future.
NPI’s Board of Directors approved several initiatives from the strategic planning effort started last year with the objective of ensuring that NPI members realize significant value from their participation in the association and that we are strategically positioned to compete in the modern marketplace.
One of the key components of the strategic plan is to focus on brand modernization. In addition to the name change, the Board is working on refreshing the logo, improving our website, updating marketing materials and solidifying the NPI name. You can expect more information on these items in the future.
