NIGP 96364: Registration Fees

NIGP 96364 Registration Fees, an Item code, encompasses the processing and permitting services state and local governments buy when citizens and businesses interact with motor vehicle, driver licensing, and event registration systems—work ranging from transaction fees collected by independent license-office contractors to platform licensing for online event registration and payment processing. State and local issuing bodies include state departments of revenue and motor vehicles, state IT offices, and departments of insurance; recent activity shows the Missouri Department of Revenue and Texas Department of Insurance as repeat buyers. The scope spans license-office operations (motor vehicle and marine registrations, driver and non-driver license issuance and renewal), event registration system licensing with secure payment processing and automated communications, tradeshow multimedia platforms, and third-party financing solutions for staggered registration payments. Contractors operating license offices bear facility, utility, staffing, and equipment costs while collecting transaction-based fees capped by state statute; they must maintain liability insurance, crime bonding, security systems, and compliance with state service standards. Online registration and payment platforms must integrate with state accounting systems, support multiple merchant accounts, comply with PCI standards and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, and provide real-time reporting on revenue and registrant data.

Recent opportunities cluster in Missouri, Texas, Colorado, and Nevada. The Missouri Department of Revenue posted RFPs for independent contractors to operate license offices in Warsaw (due October 27, 2026) and Princeton (due July 9, 2026) and New Madrid (due June 12, 2026), each under five-year terms with renewal options, compensating via transaction and permit fees specified in state statute. The Texas Department of Insurance solicited annual licensing and 12-month maintenance for online event registration systems via IFB, with bids due September 11, 2026 and August 13, 2026, requiring PCI-compliant payment processing and integration with the Texas Comptroller's Uniform Statewide Accounting System. The Colorado Governor's Office of Information Technology requested quotes for virtual instructor-led management training under Documented Quote with quotes due July 23, 2026. The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles issued an informational RFI (responses due June 15, 2026) seeking third-party vendors to administer vehicle registration payment-plan financing under Assembly Bill 296, requiring real-time decisioning, API integration with the DriveNV portal, 99.9 percent system uptime, and fees capped at 15 percent combined.
