NIGP 20984: Shipping and Postal Management Software

NIGP 20984 Shipping and Postal Management Software, an Item code, covers enterprise software platforms and related services that state and local governments use to track, manage, and optimize mail, parcel, and package operations across their operations. Based on recent state and local solicitations, this code captures a broader software procurement landscape spanning enterprise resource planning, specialized operational platforms, assessment systems, and safety management solutions rather than mail-specific tools. Issuing bodies include state agencies (Washington State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife, Texas Department of Information Resources), county school districts (DeKalb County School District in Georgia, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), municipal governments (City of Newnan in Georgia, City of Atlanta in Georgia), county commissions (Pasco County in Florida), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit). Washington State and Georgia jurisdictions dominate recent activity, with single opportunities also appearing in Florida and Texas. State agencies and large school districts represent the primary volume of solicitation activity under this code.
