NASPO Survey of State Practices

<p>The Survey of State Procurement Practices is the comprehensive body of knowledge, including statutory, regulatory, and policy requirements for procurement, as well as existing practices in member states and territories of the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO). For the purposes of this report, the term “state” will be used to refer to any responding state, territory, or jurisdiction. This survey intends to provide a baseline of statistical information against which future data can be compared to identify the changes in the roles, responsibilities, and practices of state procurement offices and officials in the years to come. Currently, NASPO conducts the survey every two years.</p>
