NIGP 91158: C.i.p., Special Consultants

NIGP 91158 C.I.P., Special Consultants, is an Item code encompassing short-term, high-expertise professional advisory and facilitation services deployed across a wide range of state and local operational and strategic needs—from enterprise system implementation and grant management to comprehensive planning, infrastructure assessment, and specialized technical reviews. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying expert guidance on topics spanning Focus ERP system integration, community health assessment governance, hazard mitigation planning, comprehensive plan updates, water infrastructure feasibility studies, and promotional examination design, typically structured as time-limited engagements with defined deliverables rather than ongoing staffing or operational delegation.

Issuing bodies include cities, counties, school districts, regional authorities, and special-purpose districts across multiple states. Recent activity shows repeat procurement from San Mateo County Health (community engagement and CHIP/CHA implementation), Dickinson Independent School District in Texas (food service design), and cities across Georgia (comprehensive planning).
