NIGP 92478 Teaching and Instruction Services (Including Elementary and Secondary Education, Higher Education and Adult Education), Item, covers the full range of instructional delivery, curriculum materials, professional development, and specialized teaching services that state and local school districts and education agencies actually procure. Recent solicitations show demand for instructional software licenses (Carnegie Learning math and Spanish curriculum, English Discoveries ESOL platform, iCEV CTE credentials, LETRS literacy training), catalog-discount frameworks for bulk instructional materials, professional development and coaching (math onsite/virtual coaching, teacher effectiveness coaching, entrepreneurship curriculum), tutoring and academic intervention services, enrichment programs (STEAM, arts, out-of-school time academics), substitute staffing, educational interpreting, specialized instructor services (driver education, CDL training, water education tours), and early literacy intervention tools. The buyer base includes state education agencies (Texas Education Agency, Oregon Education Service Districts), county and independent school districts (Hillsborough, Pinellas, Katy, Fort Bend, Austin, Stockton, SUSD in Texas and Florida), community colleges, and special-purpose districts. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida emerges as a repeat buyer, posting five separate solicitations for vendor qualification or procurement of proprietary instructional platforms and professional services within the recent window.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (TEA solicitations for open education resources, pathways platforms, STAAR testing materials, foundational literacy tools; multiple ISD procurements across Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Katy, El Paso), Florida (Hillsborough, Pinellas, Stockton districts), and dispersed activity across Oregon, Georgia, Maryland, California, Arizona, Mississippi, Colorado, Illinois, and Massachusetts. Recent representative opportunities include the State of Texas requesting catalog discount bids on instructional materials and related products through ICAT2628 with a due date of November 19, 2026; Hillsborough County Public Schools issuing sole-source notices for Carnegie Learning math coaching and Techno-Ware English Discoveries platform licensing; Katy ISD soliciting districtwide staff development and materials under RFP 2335AB-E due October 16, 2026; Pinellas County Schools requesting STEAM enrichment programs for private school Title I students (RFP 25JB082, due February 16, 2026, estimated value approximately $1,000,000 over two years); Hillsborough County requesting tutoring services to establish a vendor bank (RFP 26111RFPEST, due April 30, 2026, estimated annual budget $8 million, 70% Title I federal funds); Texas Education Agency seeking proposals for open education resources third-party content review (RFP 701-26-024, due September 17, 2026) and foundational literacy intervention tools (RFP 701-26-003, due June 15, 2026, five-year term beginning November 2026); and Collin County Community College procuring commercial driver's license training services on a five-year term beginning November 1, 2026 (RFP FY2026RFP065, due September 1, 2026). Sole-source and single-vendor notices dominate, reflecting the proprietary nature of established instructional platforms and vendor lock-in common in K-12 adoption cycles.
