Journal of Public Procurement

In 2001, under the sponsorship of the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) and Florida Atlantic University, the Journal of Public Procurement was launched to serve NIGP's individual and agency members, other government procurement professional organizations, and interested readers.

Mission
The Journal of Public Procurement (JoPP) seeks to further the understanding of public procurement by exploring theories and practices of public procurement keyed to:
• Functional areas, including but not limited to procurement policy, procurement strategic planning and scheduling, contract formation, contract administration, evaluation, and procurement methods and techniques;
• Substantive areas such as government procurement laws and regulations, procurement economics and politics, and procurement ethics; and
• Topical issues such as e-Procurement, procurement transparency, and green procurement.

Access
NIGP national members may search electronic copies of the Journal and print full-text articles here.

Printed copies are also available through a paid subscription from the publisher, PrAcademics Press, at www.pracademics.com. 

Manuscripts Submissions
• Academic manuscripts and symposium proposals for featured topics should be e-mailed to Prof. Khi V. Thai, Editor, at thai@fau.edu;
