NIGP 92022: Data Preparation and Processing Services (Including Bates Coding)

NIGP 92022 Data Preparation and Processing Services (Including Bates Coding), an Item code, covers state and local procurement of data acquisition, processing, validation, and transformation services—including freight flow datasets, voter registration audits, aquatic sonar data processing, gate-fee analysis, and specialized document digitization and coding. The code encompasses a wide range of data work from collection and ingestion through analysis and reporting, with recent activity showing heavy reliance on cloud platforms, automated workflows, and compliance with data governance standards. State and local issuing bodies procuring under this code include state transportation and revenue departments, county clerks and boards of commissioners, municipal authorities, schools, and specialized state boards. Illinois Department of Transportation appears multiple times as a repeat buyer of freight and commodity flow data, while Florida agencies (Department of Commerce, Department of Revenue, Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission) account for several RFIs and single-source procurements focused on data analytics and modernization.

Recent solicitation activity spans Illinois, California, Florida, Texas, Minnesota, Utah, Oregon, Maryland, Georgia, Arizona, and Massachusetts. Representative opportunities include the Illinois Department of Transportation's freight data and forecasting IFB (IFB B-54339, response due October 22, 2026) seeking updated commodity flow data across all 102 Illinois counties with 2040 and 2055 forecasts; the California Department of Water Resources' data processing, printing, and mailing services for flood risk notifications (IFB 10220162, bids due October 6, 2026) requiring parcel data acquisition, GIS mapping, and USPS coordination; and Tewksbury Public School District's document digitization RFQ under cooperative vehicle SWC FAC126 (proposals due September 30, 2026) covering scanning of approximately 30 boxes of AP, payroll, HR, and administrative documents. Single-source procurements remain active—the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's subscription with BioBase LLC for aquatic sonar data processing ($350,000 over three years) and the Florida Department of Corrections' victim notification system enhancement with Appriss Insights ($33.7 million over five years) exemplify specialized data-services agreements where sole-source justification centers on exclusive vendor capability or incumbent operational knowledge. Geographic concentration is highest in Florida, Illinois, and California, with secondary activity in Texas, Utah, and the Pacific Northwest.
