NIGP 91728: Contracted Services, Sales Commissions

NIGP 91728 Contracted Services, Sales Commissions is an Item code under which state and local governments procure vendor services for event merchandise production, retail sales management, and commission-based revenue sharing arrangements tied to specific municipal or educational events. The City of Milton, Georgia recently solicited screen-printing and merchandise sales services for its Crabapple Fest event under RFP 26-PR02 (due July 16, 2026), seeking a full-service vendor to produce branded t-shirts and ancillary merchandise on-site, manage inventory, and conduct retail sales at an event drawing 15,000–20,000 attendees, with the vendor retaining 70 percent of net profit after the city's 30 percent take and cost recovery. State and local issuing bodies under this code span municipal governments, community colleges, and special districts; the City of Milton represents municipal event-based merchandise sales contracting, while Valencia College and Mt. San Antonio College illustrate educational institutions procuring subject-matter expertise and commissioning services through quote requests and RFQuals. The scope of work varies from event-specific merchandise production and sales to professional consulting services for curriculum development and facility commissioning, reflecting a broad portfolio of commission-based and fee-for-service engagements.

Activity under this code appears concentrated in California and Georgia based on the most recent solicitations. The City of Milton's Crabapple Fest merchandise RFP targets a vendor willing to assume production costs, equipment, staffing, and liability in exchange for profit-sharing; the vendor must carry $1 million in commercial general liability and workers' compensation insurance and remit the city's share within thirty days of event conclusion. Valencia College's curriculum consulting request (Quote Request QR 2026-06, due August 7, 2025) required subject-matter expertise in semiconductor and microelectronics education with a minimum of three years' workforce education experience, while Mt. San Antonio College's commissioning RFQual (due October 3, 2025) invited on-call consultants for HVAC, power distribution, and facility systems work over a five-year period with DIR registration and prevailing wage compliance mandatory. These opportunities reflect a mix of event-driven sales arrangements, educational consulting, and facility-services frameworks where commissions, hourly rates, or per-project fees structure compensation.
