Procurement Statistics - from the Annual Statistical Report on United Nations

The United Nations procures goods and services from suppliers all over the
world to support its activities and operations. Procurement statistics have
been collected from organizations in the United Nations system and reported

Procurement (ASR). This UN Procurement Data portal provides access to the
latest procurement statistics through interactive
data dashboards as
well as the report itself.
In addition to providing data on procurement spend, this portal provides
information on United Nations organizations' efforts to integrate sustainability
considerations into
their procurement processes, in the context of the United Nations' continued focus on sustainable
development. •The
Annual Statistical Report on United Nations Procurement is produced by UNOPS on
