NIGP 20831: Course Evaluation Software

NIGP 20831 Course Evaluation Software, an Item code, encompasses learning management and assessment platforms that state and local governments procure to measure student or trainee performance, track learning outcomes, and manage educational evaluation workflows. State and local solicitations under this code show substantial activity across K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, and state education agencies seeking to replace aging systems or consolidate fragmented platforms—work that ranges from comprehensive assessment suites managing thousands of annual tests to specialized course registration systems and instructional materials review automation.

The issuing-body mix is dominated by school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, DeKalb County School District in Georgia, Fort Bend Independent School District and Manor Independent School District in Texas, Manatee County School District in Florida), state education agencies (Texas Education Agency, Washington State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction), and higher education institutions (Texas Southern University, University of Texas at El Paso, Georgia Southern University). Recent opportunities span Florida, Texas, Georgia, and Washington, with multiple concurrent procurements in Florida counties and Texas school districts. The Texas Education Agency's Instructional Materials Review and Approval (IMRA) contractor procurement (RFP 701-26-007, due May 1, 2026) seeks five-year management of a statewide rubric, review, and approval system for instructional materials aligned to Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills standards, with a mandated five percent service-disabled veteran-owned business subcontracting goal and comprehensive cybersecurity and accessibility compliance. Hillsborough County Public Schools issued an RFP (due April 10, 2026) for a comprehensive digital assessment platform to replace its current School City system, serving 200,000–225,000 students across 242 schools with requirements for migration of four years of historical data, Canvas LMS integration, WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility, and a Small Business Encouragement Program set-aside requiring 20 percent subcontractor spending within the Tampa Bay area. The Washington State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction's statewide Individualized Education Program (IEP) platform solicitation (RFP 2026-20, due June 30, 2026) targets approximately 150,000 students with disabilities across 300 local education agencies and nine Educational Service Districts, requiring bidirectional integration with Skyward, PowerSchool, and Synergy student information systems, 600-plus federal compliance reporting table automation, and small business or certified veteran-owned business preference eligibility for Washington bidders.
