NIGP 89846: Image Analysis Systems

NIGP 89846 Image Analysis Systems, an Item code, covers forensic image analysis, authentication, and management software and services that state and local law enforcement, transportation, and infrastructure agencies use to process, authenticate, and organize digital evidence and assets. State and local governments procure this code through sole-source notices, ITBs, and RFPs when acquiring specialized forensic image software licenses, digital asset management platforms, and associated training and implementation services to support investigative and operational workflows.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal police departments, university systems, and regional transportation authorities. The City of Orlando Procurement and Contracts Division issued a Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source (S26-0373) on April 1, 2026, for Amped FIVE forensic image analysis and authentication software licenses and training for the Orlando Police Department, with a response deadline of April 8, 2026, to challenge the sole-source designation. The Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo Rail Corridor Agency, operating under the Orange County Transportation Authority, issued an RFP (250151) with a proposal due date of January 7, 2026, for a Digital Asset Management System migration from MediaSilo to a cloud-based platform supporting ten users and two terabytes of storage; the contract budget was $24,150 for the initial one-year term. The Texas A&M University System issued an ITB (TAMUS-ITB-25-0516) on March 11, 2026, for a ceiling-mounted flexible C-arm, indicating that medical imaging hardware procurement may also fall within this code. Recent activity spans Florida, Texas, and California, though the small sample size limits geographic characterization. No set-aside designations or prevailing-wage requirements were indicated in the available notices.
