Members of the Tennessee Association of Public Purchasing (TAPP) are employed in government procurement positions in federal, state, county, municipal and township agencies, as well as public school systems, colleges, universities, hospitals, commissions, authorities and other political subdivisions of the state.

Our members are involved, directly or indirectly, in purchasing, materials management and/or have an influence on the public procurement process.

A chapter of NIGP, The Institute for Public Procurement, TAPP meets twice annually to provide members with educational and informative seminars on the latest trends and legislation affecting public sector procurement, and offers important networking and social opportunities, too.

We invite you to join us at an upcoming meeting to learn more about TAPP and how membership can benefit you and your career.
