NIGP 99364: Travel-Out, Parking Fees

NIGP 99364 Travel-Out, Parking Fees (Item) covers comprehensive parking management systems and related enforcement technology that state and local governments deploy to track, collect fees for, and administer parking across municipal facilities, parks, and public spaces. Pinellas County Parks and Conservation Resources' February 2026 RFP for a Parking Management System—a representative solicitation under this code—illustrates the scope: cloud-based software platforms, handheld ticketing devices, license plate recognition (ALPR) hardware, mobile payment portals, citation management backends, and integration with existing payment ecosystems like ParkMobile and pay-station networks. The work spans system design, data migration, hardware provisioning, real-time support services, and ongoing maintenance across large footprints—Pinellas County manages over 5,400 parking spaces—with strict requirements for data privacy, security controls, and compliance certifications (including Human Trafficking and Foreign Country of Concern affidavits). Issuing bodies under this code include county parks and conservation departments, municipalities, and special-purpose recreation and boat-ramp authorities managing public parking infrastructure.

The Pinellas County opportunity (RFP 250657RFP, due July 1, 2025, $450,000 contract ceiling for 60 months with two optional 12-month extensions) anchors recent activity in Florida. Previous submissions from vendors including UPP Global and Parksol USA LLC ranged from $220,380 to $2,059,955, reflecting variability in scope interpretation and platform maturity. The procurement emphasizes technical depth—cloud architecture, real-time analytics dashboards, citation processing at scale (approximately 12,620 citations annually for Pinellas), and interoperability with county networks and state motor-vehicle registration systems for enforcement holds. Evaluation weighted qualifications (35%), approach (30%), statement of work (25%), and compensation (10%), signaling buyer focus on vendor capability and methodology over price. Pre-bid activity occurred June 5, 2026, via Microsoft Teams, with a non-mandatory pre-conference structure typical of municipal RFPs seeking to surface technical and compliance questions early.
