NIGP 92471: School Operation and Management Services

NIGP 92471 School Operation and Management Services, an Item code, encompasses platform and services work that state and local school districts buy to manage core educational operations—from enrollment systems and data tracking to professional learning, special education compliance, and curriculum support. Recent solicitations show districts acquiring migrant education data systems, online special education tracking platforms, formative writing assessment tools, professional learning management systems, and consulting services for school improvement and facility planning, all reflecting operational and instructional management priorities rather than day-to-day facility maintenance or food service.

State boards of education and individual school districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with the Utah State Board of Education appearing frequently across multiple solicitations and districts ranging from small rural systems like Sevier to large urban districts like Cobb County, Clark County, Katy ISD, and Buffalo Public Schools. Recent opportunities cluster in Utah (state board RFPs for migrant data systems, charter mentoring, youth-in-care assessment, educator professional learning platforms, formative writing tools, and college readiness systems), Texas (Katy ISD staff development, Manor ISD virtual learning, KIPP Texas food service management), Georgia (Cobb County point-of-sale systems), New York (Buffalo Public Schools crossing guard and discipline monitor services), and Nevada (Clark County mathematics professional learning). The Utah State Board of Education has posted at least six RFPs in this category since late January 2026, signaling sustained procurement activity around educational technology and instructional support. Representative recent opportunities include the Utah State Board of Education's RFP for a Migrant Education Data System (USBE-JB26296-RFP, due July 24, 2026) seeking a pre-existing off-the-shelf solution supporting daily data uploads and CSPR reporting with a maximum budget of $170,000 over five years; the Texas Juvenile Justice Department's online special education tracking system (due July 2, 2026) for roughly 700–800 students across five secure facilities with best-value evaluation weighted toward program design and support; and Sevier School District's elementary site-based early literacy support RFP (due June 22, 2026) requesting on-site job-embedded coaching across five schools. Crossing guard services appear as a secondary category within school operations: the City of Milpitas issued an RFP (due April 22, 2026) for approximately 36 trained crossing guards across nine schools, and the City of Orlando's earlier RFP sought crossing guards for school zones across Orange County. Geographic concentration in Utah reflects state-level education technology procurement, though the recent-opportunities block also shows activity in Texas, Georgia, New York, Nevada, and Florida, indicating a distributed market across large urban and mid-sized school systems.
