NIGP 91836: E-Commerce Consulting

NIGP 91836 E-Commerce Consulting, an Item code, does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity in the source data. Recent solicitations classified under this code span strategic planning, feasibility studies, executive recruitment, housing navigator services, transportation planning, and higher-education consulting—work that has minimal connection to e-commerce technology or digital-transaction platforms. State and local governments are buying general management and strategic advisory services across diverse operational domains: annexation feasibility analysis, tax allocation district redevelopment planning, trail-and-sidewalks master planning, residential housing stability programs, city-manager executive search, financial advisory for state transportation departments, and augmented marketing and communications staffing for transit authorities. The issuing bodies include state departments (Georgia Department of Transportation), municipal governments (City of Apopka, Columbus Consolidated Government, City of College Park, Dallas Area Rapid Transit), county transit authorities (DART), and university systems (University System of Georgia via Albany State University). Repeat solicitors visible in the source include the City of Apopka (two separate annexation feasibility RFPs) and Columbus Consolidated Government (two separate transportation planning studies).

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Florida, with secondary activity in Texas. Representative opportunities include Albany State University's eRFQ for general consulting and management services across higher education, development, strategic planning, and human resources (due August 7, 2026); the City of Apopka's RFP for South Apopka annexation feasibility study (responses due May 26, 2026, with completion by July 31, 2026); Invest Atlanta's RFQC to establish a vendor pool across six TAD redevelopment consulting disciplines (responses due July 20, 2026); Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for an Edgewood Road Corridor feasibility study requiring GDOT prequalification in Area Class 1.02 (due May 29, 2026); and DART's indefinite-delivery general planning consultant contract seeking 32 specialized marketing, communications, and public relations roles with a 21 percent SBE participation goal (due March 18, 2026). No current opportunities identify e-commerce platform development, digital transaction services, or technology implementation, indicating this Item code either misclassifies the work being solicited or has become inactive as a procurement category in recent state and local activity.
