NIGP 20693: Terminals and CRTs: Data Processing Systems

NIGP 20693 Terminals And CRTs: Data Processing Systems, an Item code, describes cloud-based platforms, digital development services infrastructure, and end-user computing devices that state and local governments procure to support enterprise operations. Recent solicitations show the code encompasses social media management and analytics platforms, comprehensive digital services delivery frameworks, Apple-branded computers and peripherals with managed services, and SCADA system monitoring hardware and software. Issuing bodies span county executive offices, state information resource departments, city utilities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdictional government coalitions. Orange County, California appears as a repeat buyer, soliciting both social media analytics infrastructure and broader digital development services within a five-month window. Buying is driven by operational need—managing internal communications across dozens of departments, upgrading legacy control systems in water infrastructure, and centralizing procurement of standard computing devices across state agencies—rather than by technology refresh cycles alone.

Orange County (County Executive Office) posted an RFP for Digital Development Services with a July 28, 2026 response deadline, spanning 13 service categories including data analytics, accessibility remediation, DevSecOps, and artificial intelligence implementation; Orange County also posted an IFB for Social Media Management and Analytics Services due November 5, 2025 supporting 22 county departments and 18,000 employees. The City of Flowery Branch, Georgia solicited SCADA system equipment upgrade and maintenance via RFP with a June 30, 2026 deadline, requiring design and integration across water infrastructure sites. The Texas Department of Information Resources issued an RFO for Apple Branded Products and Related Services with a November 19, 2021 response deadline, reflecting historical statewide combined Apple sales of $949.35 million across state agencies, higher education, and local governments in fiscal years 2018–2021. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment available to participating entities across multiple states and Canada, with proposals due June 16, 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in California (Orange County) and Georgia (Flowery Branch), with statewide scope in Texas and multi-state reach through cooperative vehicles in the Upper Midwest and Pacific Northwest.
