NIGP 20428: Data Entry and Remote Job Entry Devices, Voice Activated: Voice Recognition, Voice Digitization, Speech Synthesizers, etc.

NIGP 20428 Data Entry And Remote Job Entry Devices, Voice Activated: Voice Recognition, Voice Digitization, Speech Synthesizers, Etc. is an Item code under which state and local governments have posted no recent solicitations. The recent opportunities block contains nine separate postings from state and local agencies, school districts, community colleges, and county governments across Utah, Texas, Maryland, Florida, Georgia, and Missouri issued between May and October 2026; none align with voice activation, voice recognition, voice digitization, or speech synthesis technologies. Instead, the recent activity reflects procurement of network infrastructure (Cisco and AudioCodes equipment for schools and community colleges), firewall and cybersecurity appliances, SCADA system upgrades for water utilities, video wall maintenance, camera sensor systems for transportation analytics, and wireless access point deployments—all network, infrastructure, or data-collection focused, with no procurement voice-services or voice-activated data-entry components. This code appears dormant in the current state and local procurement cycle.

The absence of recent opportunities under this Item code may signal either sustained surplus inventory from prior procurement cycles or a fundamental shift in technology purchasing away from standalone voice recognition and digitization devices toward voice capabilities integrated into broader network and cloud platforms. Firms positioned in voice technology should monitor whether future solicitations emerge under related codes addressing unified communications, telephony platforms, or integrated voice-data infrastructure. No RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB activity is present in the source for this code.
