NIGP 91708: Contracted Services, Athletic Scouting

NIGP 91708 Contracted Services, Athletic Scouting, an Item code, names athletic training and sports medicine support services that state and local governments procure for public safety and municipal workforce wellness. The actual work solicited under this code spans injury prevention, fitness evaluation, treatment, rehabilitation, and return-to-duty support — typically delivered on an as-needed basis to fire, police, and other tactical or high-risk public-sector workforces. State and local issuing bodies under this code include municipal governments and their individual departments. The City of Tucson, through a single RFP posted May 13, 2026, is seeking comprehensive athletic training services for the Tucson Fire Department and Tucson Police Department with a June 9, 2026 response deadline. The contract term is one year from award with four one-year extension options. All athletic trainers must hold current National Athletic Trainers' Association Board of Certification (NATA BOC) and National Strength and Conditioning Association Tactical Strength and Conditioning Facilitator (NSCA TSAC-F) certification, plus a valid state license and a minimum of three years professional experience preferably in public safety or tactical populations. Services operate under the supervision of a licensed physician serving as Medical Director. Contractors bear all equipment, supplies, materials, and transportation costs and must maintain commercial general liability ($2,000,000 per occurrence), commercial automobile liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit), workers' compensation (statutory), and professional liability ($1,000,000 per claim). HIPAA compliance and a Business Associate Agreement are mandatory. Evaluation weighs Method of Approach, Price Proposal, and Qualifications & Experience in that order of importance. A non-mandatory pre-submittal meeting was scheduled for May 19, 2026, with a question deadline of May 26, 2026.
