USE OF NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF GOVERNMENTAL PURCHASING CODE

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) uses the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing, Inc., (NIGP) code to standardize purchases by conforming to the class, item, and group structure of the code.

The NIGP code is used to select vendors for our master vendor file from the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA) Centralized Master Bidders List (CMBL).

New suppliers and other vendors wishing to furnish materials, equipment, supplies and services to TxDOT should apply to be on the CMBL to receive bidding opportunities.

Existing TxDOT vendors need only be concerned that the information listed on the CMBL file is correct, and that the applicable NIGP class and item are selected for those you can provide.

CMBL information is available online at: https://comptroller.texas.gov/purchasing/vendor/cmbl/ or by phoning 512-463-3459.

Early Payment Program - TxDOT is offering an important program to all respondents that provide prioritized invoice processing and payments (prior to the 30th day after receipt of a correct invoice). The program provides enrolled vendors enhanced benefits from improved invoice processing to priority handling to cash advancement and technology efficiencies.

Respondents offering a cash discount in exchange for TxDOT’s priority invoice processing and early payment agreement should complete and return the attached form entitled “Priority Invoice and Early Payment Program” with the response.
