NIGP 20985: Spread Sheet Software

NIGP 20985 Spread Sheet Software, an Item code, encompasses digital platforms and software tools that state and local governments deploy to manage, analyze, and report data across administrative, instructional, and operational functions. Recent state and local opportunities show the code capturing procurements far broader than traditional spreadsheet applications—education agencies are buying comprehensive assessment platforms, IEP management systems, and ERP solutions that integrate data workflows across multiple departments and stakeholder groups. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida issued an RFP in September 2026 for a Comprehensive Student Assessment Platform to replace School City, requiring a web-based solution capable of administering over 3,000 tests annually with data migration from Renaissance platforms, FOCUS SIS integration, Canvas LMS connectivity, and 24/7 support; the district established a Small Business Encouragement Program set-aside with a 20 percent minimum reinvestment goal for Tampa Bay-area certified small businesses. Broward County, Florida's Accounting Division released an RFP for Accounts Payable Automation Software in April 2026 to process approximately 140,000 invoices annually, with evaluation weighted toward functionality and demonstrations (30 points) and past performance (10 points); the County offers SBE and CBE procurement preferences and requires $2 million professional liability and $3 million cyber liability insurance, with contract value anticipated to exceed $500,000. Issuing bodies across these opportunities span county school districts, county government departments, state education agencies, and municipalities, reflecting broad adoption of data and software solutions across administrative tiers.

Activity concentrates in Florida and Washington State, with recent solicitations also appearing in Georgia and Minnesota cooperative purchasing frameworks. The Washington State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction issued RFP 2026-20 in April 2026 for a statewide Individualized Education Program Platform serving 150,000 students across 300-plus local education agencies, requiring bidirectional SIS integration (primarily Skyward at 87.8% penetration), CEDARS connectivity, role-based access, and compliance monitoring for over 600 federal reporting tables; proposals are due June 30, 2026, with contract performance from December 1, 2026 through November 30, 2029 and Washington Small Business and Certified Veteran-Owned Business preference available. The City of Newnan, Georgia issued an RFQ in May 2026 for an Enterprise Resource Planning system consolidating financial management, procurement, payroll, and HR functions across 343 municipal staff, with qualifications due June 5, 2026, followed by product demonstrations on June 22, 2026, and RFP participation notifications by July 1, 2026. Sourcewell, representing multiple Washington counties and jurisdictions nationwide, posted RFP 061626 in May 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment available to thousands of governmental entities through cooperative purchasing, with proposals due June 16, 2026.
