About NIGP 916
NIGP 916 Communications and Technical Services, Higher Education is a Class code under which state and local governments, including higher education institutions, procure a broad range of technical support, consulting, and communications infrastructure. Recent activity shows state and local buyers using the code for enterprise software platforms, facility management consulting, space inventory systems, educational support services, and technology solutions frameworks—not classroom instruction but institutional technology operations, facilities analysis, and student support delivery. Issuing bodies span state higher education coordinating boards (Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board), state general services and facilities departments (New Mexico General Services Department), cities and counties (Palm Bay, Dallas, Santa Cruz, Owensboro, Stockton), regional purchasing cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative), and school districts (Stockton Unified School District).
Recent opportunities show concentrated activity in Texas and Florida, with additional procurement in New Mexico, California, and Kentucky. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board is soliciting technical assistance and professional development services for Open Educational Resources grantees under RFP 781-6-CB-14, with proposals due May 21, 2026 and a July 1, 2026 contract start. The State of New Mexico General Services Department is requesting proposals for enterprise space management consulting covering facility inventory, CAD/BIM/GIS development, and occupancy data validation under RFP 27-350-26-00001, due October 16, 2026, with evaluation weighted 600 points for technical specifications and 700 points for business qualifications including organizational experience, references, financial stability, oral presentations, and cost. Texas TIPS cooperative purchasing program issued a master-agreement framework solicitation for technology solutions and services with a November 19, 2026 response deadline, enabling participating state and local entities to order on an as-needed basis. The City of Santa Cruz is seeking Parks and Recreation Department organizational assessment proposals due July 17, 2026, requiring proposers to demonstrate five prior municipal Parks and Recreation assessments in California within the past ten years, with at least three for departments budgeted at $15 million or higher—a high barrier to entry that narrows the eligible bidder pool substantially.
