NIGP 92015: Assessment and Profiling Services of Software

NIGP 92015 Assessment and Profiling Services of Software, an Item code, encompasses software testing, vulnerability analysis, and diagnostic evaluation services that state and local governments procure to validate system performance, security posture, and functional compliance before deployment or operational use. Recent opportunities show this code capturing work ranging from cybersecurity assessment frameworks and compliance audits to pre-employment candidate screening and student learning assessment platforms. Issuing bodies span state departments and agencies (Nevada Department of Public Safety, Texas Education Agency, Texas Cyber Command), municipal utilities (Lubbock Power & Light), cities (Orlando, Perry, Atlanta, Norcross, Phoenix), counties (Seminole, DeKalb, Broward, Cherokee, Harris, Newnan), special districts (Maricopa County Community College District, Atlanta Regional Commission, Hillsborough County Public Schools), and higher education institutions (Pinellas County, University of Southern Mississippi, Valencia College, Maricopa County Community College District). The work being solicited includes cybersecurity and vulnerability assessments, IT security compliance consulting with frameworks like NIST and ISO 27001, promotional and pre-employment testing platforms, comprehensive student assessment systems with data migration and curriculum alignment, contract lifecycle management software, ERP systems with configuration and profiling components, online proctoring with identity verification and lockdown browser functionality, and software asset discovery or profiling services that support network security and threat detection.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (multiple Cyber Command procurements, education agency RFIs), Florida (colleges, school districts, municipalities), Georgia (counties, cities, regional agencies), Arizona (community college district), Nevada (state departments), and Mississippi (higher education). Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Cyber Command RFOs for network operational maneuver and digital border defense (due May 14, 2026, evaluating software assessment and profiling services at 40 percent of technical scoring), Lubbock Power & Light's RFP for Contract Life Cycle Management software (due August 11, 2026, emphasizing cybersecurity 15 percent and system features 30 percent), Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for a comprehensive assessment platform replacing School City (due April 10, 2026, with 35 points assigned to cost evaluation and January 1, 2027 system go-live), Broward County's open-end solicitation for IT Security and Compliance Consulting Services across eight categories including penetration testing and incident response (due March 6, 2026, with CBE reservation for IT Project Management), and the City of Orlando's request for pre-employment testing covering typing skills, Microsoft Office proficiency, and reading comprehension (due August 4, 2026). The code shows steady baseline demand across municipal IT modernization, cybersecurity posture validation, and educational assessment infrastructure replacement cycles.
