AGP
Agreement on Government Procurement. A treaty governing procurement by all levels of government in signatory nations, which include the U.S.A. The AGP is intended to remove unnecessary obstacles to international trade in government procurement practices and procedures in part by requiring use of international standards adopted pursuant to the ATBT as government procurement specifications at all levels of government in member nations except to the extent international standards were prepared, adopted, or applied with a view to or with the effect of creating unnecessary obstacles to international trade. See text of the AGP (annotated version).See also: ATBT, technical specification
