NIGP 97249: Research Equipment Testing

NIGP 97249 Research Equipment Testing, an Item code, covers proctoring solutions and related examination administration services that state and local educational institutions procure to support remote and on-campus assessment. Texas A&M University's Division of Finance Procurement Services has solicited proctoring solutions via IFB, indicating that universities use this code to acquire platforms and services that monitor test-taker identity, prevent cheating, and deliver secure examination environments. The scope encompasses software licensing, remote invigilation services, and integrated testing platforms that institutions deploy across distributed student populations. Universities represent the primary issuing body under this code; no recent opportunities from state departments, counties, or municipalities appear in the available record.

Texas anchors the recent activity, with Texas A&M University posting IFB TAMU-RFI-26-5041 on July 1, 2026, for proctoring solutions with a response due date of July 8, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CST. Vendors on the State of Texas Centralized Master Bidders List and those who have registered interest with Texas A&M can submit proposals through the AggieBid platform; responses received after the deadline will not be accepted, and vendors must monitor AggieBid for any addenda to the solicitation.
