NIGP 92084: Teleprocessing, Business (Timesharing)

NIGP 92084 Teleprocessing, Business (Timesharing) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure hosted computing services, network connectivity, and related infrastructure on a time-sharing or subscription basis. The Texas Department of Information Resources' recent solicitation for the Texas Agency Network (TEX-AN) illustrates the scope: the state is seeking cellular voice and data plans, wireless infrastructure services, pager services, satellite voice and data services, equipment installation and turn-up, technical support and maintenance, site assessments, network buildout projects, and emerging technologies—all to be delivered under an indefinite-quantity, multiple-award contract serving all Texas state agencies. This code captures the acquisition of shared, on-demand telecommunications and computing resources where the vendor operates and maintains infrastructure and the government agency pays for usage or subscription access rather than building and owning assets outright. State agencies are the primary issuing bodies under this code, typically acting through centralized procurement offices such as state IT or telecommunications departments.

The TEX-AN solicitation, posted May 26, 2026 with responses due July 23, 2026, is the recent public opportunity supporting this code. The Texas Department of Information Resources is structuring the contract with a four-year initial term and optional renewal periods not to exceed four additional years, firm fixed pricing based on published commercial rates, and a 2.00% administrative fee. Respondents must demonstrate VetHUB-certified subcontracting capacity, WCAG accessibility conformance (pass/fail), and financial stability (valid DUNS number). Evaluation emphasizes experience and past performance (45%), technical approach (40%), and account organization (15%), with award anticipated in October 2026. The scope spans Texas statewide but focuses on serving all state agencies under a single master contract vehicle, making this a high-visibility procurement for vendors positioned to deliver multi-state or regional teleprocessing and wireless services at scale.
