NIGP 96345: Licensing Fees

NIGP 96345 Licensing Fees, an Item code, covers software and service licensing agreements that state and local governments procure to support operational needs across departments and agencies. The code captures the transactional procurement of recurring or one-time licenses—including desktop software, cloud-based applications, enterprise platforms, and professional tools—rather than the underlying software development or IT infrastructure services themselves. State and local issuing bodies use this code when they are renewing, expanding, or acquiring new license entitlements for vendor-managed software products.

The District of Columbia posted a licensing procurement on May 13, 2026 (DOC829486, due May 18, 2026) for FY26 OCTFME Licenses Adobe Creative Cloud Pro, indicating that jurisdictions in this code are acquiring industry-standard creative and productivity software on a recurrent basis. Beyond this single recent posting, the source provides no additional detail on the geographic distribution, issuing-body mix, or other representative opportunities under the code that would support a fuller characterization of current market activity.
