UPPCC Certification Support

NASPO is proud to be one of the founding partners of the Universal Public Procurement Certification Council (UPPCC), the globally recognized, independent certifying entity for government procurement professionals.

For more than 40 years, NASPO has encouraged all procurement professionals to seek certification and actively supports UPPCC’s mission.

UPPCC offers two premier certifications for public procurement professionals.

For more information about each one, including who each one is best suited for and what it takes to be eligible:

NASPO is pleased to offer a scholarship to reimburse you for the application and exam fees. Please fill out and submit the form within 60 days of successful exam results and a member of NASPO's Finance team will be in touch.

Promotion of the UPPCC and its partnership with NASPO is an important component of Procurement U.
