NIGP 91737: Contracted Services, Travel/Mileage Doc

NIGP 91737 Contracted Services, Travel/Mileage Doc, an Item code, encompasses professional consulting services, subject matter expertise, and independent oversight work that state and local governments procure to validate, review, and advise on specialized projects — often with embedded travel and mileage reimbursement components. State and local buyers under this code range across community colleges, county social services authorities, and state departments of health and family services. Valencia College recently sought subject matter expertise for curriculum development in semiconductor manufacturing and photonics education through a Quote Request (QR 2026-06), requiring vendors with a minimum of three years of workforce education and semiconductor industry experience to assess programs, review hands-on modules, and recommend certifications; the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB 2026-55-119) for Independent Verification and Validation services supporting a modernized child support information system, with mandatory qualifications including five years of IV&V operations experience and SAP platform expertise, quarterly on-site review activities totaling eight weeks annually with travel reimbursement, and a nine percent Business Enterprise Program participation goal.

Recent activity under the code appears concentrated in Florida and Illinois. Monroe County, Florida posted an RFP for comprehensive paratransit and demand-response transportation services (RFP 638, due July 21, 2026), which, while transportation-focused, likely includes contracted services for scheduling, dispatch, and customer service operations alongside mileage reimbursement for vehicle operations. Valencia College's semiconductor curriculum-development procurement (due August 7, 2025, via VendorLink) targets hourly pricing for all services, materials, and travel under a four-month contract period from September 1 through December 1, 2025. The Illinois IV&V solicitation (due June 24, 2026, through BidBuy) establishes a two-year initial term with optional renewal to ten years total, firm pricing, and a single award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with questions due June 3, 2026, and a non-mandatory pre-submission conference available via WebEx.
