NIGP’s Pareto Award for Excellence Goes to Miami-Dade (FL) County
The National Institute of Governmental Purchasing, Inc., (NIGP) has announced Florida’s Miami-Dade County Department of Procurement Management as the recipient of the Pareto Award of Excellence in Public Procurement. Under the leadership of Director Miriam Singer, Miami-Dade County’s Department of Procurement Management (DPM) is the first and only county in the nation that has qualified to receive the Pareto Award. The award requires a rigorous review process, including a multi-faceted self-study, and an on-site assessment and evaluation conducted by a third-party Peer Review Team. This international award represents the highest form of peer recognition that can be bestowed upon a public agency for outstanding achievements in public procurement.
Additional awards were presented during NIGP’s Annual Forum held in Tampa, FL, August 5 to 9. For a list of 2006 Innovations and Best Practices Award recipients, visit: www.govinfo.bz/5966-312.
