APG-The Airport Purchasing Group
The primary goal of the Airport Purchasing Group (APG) is the advancement of the procurement profession, specifically as it relates to airport procurement professionals. Our membership consists of individuals from county and local units of government, and airport authorities throughout North America. The APG provides its membership with several unique opportunities to connect with other airport procurement professionals.
The APG Forum provides members with the opportunity to post requests for solicitations from other Agencies (why re-create the wheel!) or simply to ask questions. It's a network of over 250 airport purchasing professionals. This network can become your most valuable asset when faced with tough purchasing questions.
Membership in APG also can provide you with the opportunity to build and maintain relationships with other procurement professionals who have the same challenges you do. Assistance is only a phone call or email away.
Our annual fall conference is another worthwhile benefit. This conference provides airport industry educational sessions, tours and social events. Previous speakers have included staff from the FAA and GSA, and from other airport specific industries. And, APG offers a scholarship to a member who would like to attend the conference, who would otherwise be unable to attend. See the site for how to apply for this scholarship.
And finally, there are piggyback agreements in place. Many of our Airport Authorities have language in their bid documents which allows another governmental agency or authority to piggyback their bid. This may save you time and money by not having to do your own solicitation. Right now you can piggyback a P-Card agreement that APG has in place. So even if your Agency doesn't have a big enough spend to qualify for a rebate, by joining the APG P-Card agreement, you can take advantage of a "cumulative" spend and still obtain revenue for your Agency.
APG still offers you the biggest bang for your buck! Your entire purchasing department can become members for a fifty dollar per agency membership fee. This is the most cost effective membership fee of any of the professional purchasing organizations that you will ever belong to.
The APG is the only procurement organization solely dedicated to assisting airport procurement professionals just like you. Feel free to contact a member of the Board of Directors for additional information.
