  • 246 PUBLIC PROCUREMENT LEADERS EARNED THEIR NIGP CERTIFIED PROCUREMENT PROFESSIONAL DESIGNATION IN 2023 1,243 NIGP-CPPs Have Been Awarded Since August 2020 Florida Has the Highest Concentration of NIGP-CPPs with 240 Professionals January 8, 2024 As we welcome a New Year in 2024, we also celebrate the 246 leaders who earned their NIGP Certified Procurement Professional designation (NIGP-CPP) in 2023. This leadership-focused professional certification continues to gain respectability across North America as the professional procurement certification of choice – with 44% growth in approved applications and 18% growth in new certificants in the past six months. Today, there are NIGP-CPP leaders throughout 46 states and 5 Canadian provinces. The State of Florida proudly has the largest concentration of NIGP-CPPs in North America – with 240 awarded NIGP-CPPs since the program launched in August 2020 including 54 professionals from the Sunshine State who earned their NIGP-CPP In 2023. We have the privilege to honor them here. If you are considering professional certification, the unique focus of the NIGP-CPP…targeted specifically for procurement leaders…truly sets it apart. The NIGP-CPP is the only certification offering anchored in the Public Procurement Competency Framework that was developed from a research study funded by the Volcker Alliance. It offers the flexibility demanded by fast-paced professionals… no training prerequisites, four testing windows annually, a two-year period to pass the individually scored modular exams, and six eligibility pathways that reflect a mix of educational achievements and relevant work experience. Equally unique, the NIGP-CPP is integrated into the NIGP Pathways portfolio of learning and credentialling that grows with your career in public procurement. For those professionals new to public procurement, professional certification is likely not the first step in your journey, but Pathways intentionally offers something for everyone so you can begin to be recognized for your learning well before you are eligible for certification. As a reminder, the opportunity to ‘bridge’ to the NIGP-CPP from a current CPPO or CPPB designation administered by the UPPCC is quickly coming to a close. The bridge provides an opportunity for an eligible candidate to take and pass only Module B of the two-part NIGP-CPP exam. The final testing window is May 2024 and the registration period to schedule a May exam will close on March 31, 2024. After May 2024, current CPPO or CPPB holders can continue to apply for their NIGP-CPP under Pathway F which provides an abbreviated application process but will be required to successfully pass both exam modules.
