1. What is the National Procurement Council?

The National Procurement Council is the nation’s premiere procurement trade association that advances the market through communication, education, advocacy and opportunity.  We provide economic opportunities for our members by building a strong community voice, lobbying for you, and providing programs and benefits to support the growth of our member businesses across America.  Our members are comprised of business owners, Government Agencies, Corporate representatives and Association Members.

2. Are you affiliated with a political party or candidate?

No, we are not affiliated with a political party or candidate. We lobby for the issues of our members - period.  We frequently poll our members to make sure we are on track with their views. The NPC advocates issues, finds out which candidates support our issues and makes sure you know which candidates are supporting our issues.  The more you tell us about your views, the better job we will do nationally and locally to represent you with vigor and with the authority of the NPC name.          (top)
