NIGP 91708: Contracted Services, Athletic Scouting

NIGP 91708 Contracted Services, Athletic Scouting, an Item code, represents state and local government procurement of specialized instruction, training, and performance-support services delivered by certified professionals in recreational and occupational athletic contexts. Recent solicitations show the code encompasses watersports instruction with adaptive recreation programming, athletic training services for public safety personnel, injury prevention and rehabilitation support, and fitness conditioning delivered on-site or as-needed to municipal departments and parks systems. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions and municipal fire and police departments, typically seeking single or multiple vendors under concession agreements or service contracts with performance and insurance requirements scaled to operational risk and the populations served.

Collier County, Florida posted an Invitation to Negotiate in August 2026 for watersports instruction at Sugden Regional Park (sailing, water skiing, wake surfing, and adaptive recreation programming for persons with disabilities, veterans, and seniors) due August 31, 2026, with a 10-point local vendor preference and a three-year concession structure; the City of Tucson issued a Request for Proposal in May 2026 for athletic training services supporting the Fire and Police departments, with NATA BOC and NSCA TSAC-F certifications required, proposals due June 9, 2026, and a one-year term with four optional one-year renewals. Activity appears concentrated in Florida and Arizona jurisdictions, though the code likely sees scattered demand across parks departments and public safety agencies nationwide. Both solicitations emphasize credentialing (Coast Guard certifications, athletic trainer licensure), liability insurance in the $1 million to $2 million range, and physician or supervisory oversight where clinical functions are involved.
