NIGP 20949: Geographic Information System (Gis) Software

NIGP 20949 Geographic Information System (GIS) Software, an Item code, encompasses enterprise and departmental GIS platforms, data management systems, and integrated geospatial tools that state and local governments deploy for infrastructure mapping, emergency response, planning, and asset management. Recent solicitations show governments buying complete GIS platform licenses (ArcGIS Enterprise subscriptions), managed services for existing GIS environments, GIS mapping and surveying support, climatological and resilience data feeds for transportation planning, and integration modules to connect GIS systems with 911 dispatch, code enforcement, and permitting platforms. Issuing bodies span regional commissions (Atlanta Regional Commission), counties (Marion County, Cherokee County, Lee County Port Authority), cities (Santa Monica, Union City, Apopka, Atlanta, Newnan, Parker), school districts (DeKalb County, Hillsborough County), towns (Farragut), and state environmental agencies (Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife). The code sees substantial activity from municipalities building or replacing ERP and community development systems that require GIS integration as a core module, with standalone GIS service contracts also common for ongoing mapping, database maintenance, and data conversion work.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and Florida, with notable activity in Washington State, Tennessee, Colorado, and Texas. The Atlanta Regional Commission posted RFP 655 on June 3, 2026, to procure resilience and climatological data (21-county scope, $86,000 budget, due June 17, 2026) for a Transportation Vulnerability Assessment Tool built on GIS infrastructure. Union City, Georgia issued RFP-CD-26-02 on May 27, 2026, for GIS mapping and surveying services (due July 1, 2026). Santa Monica released RFP 469 on April 21, 2026, for managed services supporting its ArcGIS Enterprise environment on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (three-year term, due May 27, 2026, requiring Oracle Partner certification). The Town of Farragut, Tennessee posted RFP 2026-25 on April 13, 2026, for GIS services including ArcGIS maintenance, infrastructure mapping, data conversion, and custom development (due April 7, 2026; current provider AECOM Technical Services). Marion County, Florida issued a single-source notice on May 7, 2026, for MapImport Utility and Geofile CrossReference Module licenses to interface 911 mapping with TriTech CAD (due May 14, 2026). Lee County Port Authority in Florida posted a sole-source determination on April 29, 2026, for ArcGIS Enterprise subscriptions and managed services (due May 20, 2026). These opportunities indicate persistent demand for GIS platform licensing, data integration, and professional services supporting emergency response, asset management, and regulatory compliance across mid-size to large jurisdictions.
