NIGP 91828: Computer Hardware Consulting

NIGP 91828 Computer Hardware Consulting, an Item code, encompasses technical advisory services that state and local governments procure to support enterprise technology infrastructure projects, system implementations, and organizational IT transitions. Recent opportunities show school districts, cities, and counties using this code to solicit ERP system implementation support, enterprise asset management consulting, IT infrastructure strategy, and specialized troubleshooting during major technology deployments. The work includes project management, data migration, legacy system integration, business process redesign, post-implementation stabilization, and advisory services on emerging technologies—often deployed as extensions of internal IT teams rather than standalone product deliveries. Issuing bodies span K–12 school districts (Volusia County Schools, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Fulton County Schools), municipal governments (City of Phoenix, City of Gallup, City of Hinesville, City of College Park), county transportation authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority), and county government offices (Broward County). School districts and city procurement offices appear most active on the code in recent months.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Volusia County, Hillsborough County, Broward County), Georgia (Fulton County Schools, City of Hinesville, City of College Park), Arizona (City of Phoenix), New Mexico (City of Gallup), and Texas (Fairfax County, Virginia also posted). Representative opportunities include the School Board of Volusia County's single-source Notice of Intent for IT Consultant Alison Sylvia to provide Focus ERP implementation and integration support (response due March 5, 2026, estimated $19,999.99); the City of Phoenix's RFQu 26-0072 establishing a Qualified Vendors List for airport technology consulting across four service groups—General IT, Enterprise IT Systems, AI/Machine Learning, and Airport Technology Strategy—with sealed offers due December 3, 2026 and a non-mandatory pre-offer conference on October 21, 2026; and Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26-376 for computer devices and related services including configuration, imaging, and deployment support, with an estimated annual budget of $34 million and proposals due October 7, 2026. The Orange County Transportation Authority's RFP 250192 for Enterprise Asset Management Phase 2 Hexagon EAM configuration consulting reflects the code's use in transit-authority technology rollouts, with a $1.5 million firm-fixed-price contract over two years (term September 1, 2026–August 31, 2028) and interviews scheduled for July 1, 2026.
