'''CPV''' (Common Procurement Vocabulary) is the European statistical classification of goods and services procured by the public sector. It is established by law<ref> Regulation No 2151/2003</ref>. The CPV consists of a Main Vocabulary and a Supplementary Vocabulary, both available in 22  official EU languages.

Definition

CPV Classification or CPV Taxonomy is the classification system embedded in the Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV), the European statistical classification of goods, services and works procured by the public sector.

Structure

The Main Vocabulary currently consists of about 9454 terms, listing goods, works and services commonly used in public Procurement. The CPV does not offer a structured description for each code, the scope of each term must be inferred from the string (text) comprising its name. The CVP name text contains parts (or combinations) of information, such as the main name of a product and its type, and sometimes other details.

The system is hierarchical with the following overall shape:

  • 45 Divisions
  • 272 Groups
  • 1002 Classes
  • 2379 Categories
  • 5756 Sub-categories

Procurement Type

  • CPV-codes that start with 0 up to and including 44 or 48 : Deliverables (Goods)
  • CPV-codes that start with 50 up to and including 98: Services
  • CPV-codes that start with 45: Works


NB: There are no codes that start with 46, 47 or 49.

Encoding

The coding structure of the CPV Vocabulary uses a nine-digit code. The digit is a control digit that serves to verify the previous digits.

  • The first two digits come in a block, so as to accommodate 99 Divisions (XX000000-Y)
  • The next six digits each represent one level of classification, so there cannot be more than 9 groups at a given level of classification.
  • The first three digits together identify Groups (XXX00000-Y) (so there can be 10 groups per division)
  • The first four digits together identify Classes (XXXX0000-Y) (so there can be 10 classes per group)
  • The first five digits identify Categories (XXXXX000-Y) (so there can be 10 categories per class)
  • The last three digits give further precision within each category (Subcategories)


Zeros are placed at the end of codes, except for the first two digits, and they indicate the level of accuracy of the code (the more zeros it has, the more general it is). Where a given level of classification is not further subdivided, a ‘0’ is used in the position for the next more detailed level.

Example

As an example, a dental X-ray device would be classified with increasing accuracy as follows:

  • Division 33 (33000000-0): Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products
  • Group 33-1 (33100000-1): Medical equipments
  • Class 33-1-1 (33110000-4): Imaging equipment for medical, dental and veterinary use
  • Category 33-1-1-1 (33111000-1): X-ray devices
  • Subcategory 33-1-1-1-2 (33111200-3): X-ray workstations

CPV Division 76 Services related to the oil and gas industry
CPV Division 77 Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services
CPV Division 79 Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security
CPV Division 80 Education and training services
CPV Division 85 Health and social work services
CPV Division 90 Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services
CPV Division 92 Recreational, cultural and sporting services
CPV Division 98 Other community, social and personal services

Issues and Challenges

  • The CPV taxonomy is somewhat correlated with the CPA (Classification of Products by Activity), which in turn is correlated with the NACE Classification but there is no formal correspondence.
