NIGP 91812: Analytical/Predictive Studies and Surveys (Consulting)

NIGP 91812 Analytical/Predictive Studies And Surveys (Consulting), an Item code, covers feasibility studies, research projects, workforce analyses, disparity audits, and survey-based research that state and local governments procure to inform policy, planning, and strategic decisions. Recent opportunities demonstrate heavy demand for transportation and urban planning studies (pedestrian mall feasibility, complete streets analysis, traffic data analysis), workforce and demographic research (behavioral health workforce landscape analysis, K-12 enrollment projections), equity and disparity analysis (procurement disparity studies, equity audits, uniform citation data analysis), and employee engagement measurement. Issuing bodies span city planning departments, transit authorities, school districts, county departments of transportation and human services, state agencies (fish and wildlife, corrections, health departments), and independent government boards. County of Orange, California appears frequently, procuring disparity studies, appraisal services, and risk-needs assessment consulting. The code also captures specialized surveys such as fishing and recreation participation measurement and employee engagement benchmarking for municipal human resources departments.

Activity concentrates in California (multiple state and county solicitations), Florida (transportation studies, data collection, examination services), Texas (workforce evaluation, road safety planning), and Massachusetts (uniform citation analysis), with additional recent work in Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, New Mexico, Michigan, Utah, Washington, and North Carolina. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP 260285 for a Passenger Flow Management Solution and Services at Sky Harbor International Airport (due July 30, 2026, seven-year contract with 99.99% uptime requirements); the City of Moab's RFQ 2606 for a Downtown Master Plan consolidating existing studies (due July 27, 2026, $50,000 fixed-price budget); the California Interagency Council on Homelessness's solicitation for Homeless Data Integration System maintenance and operations (due November 13, 2026, $15 million potential over five years); and the Texas Education Agency's RFP 701-26-018 for evaluation services on the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program (due June 3, 2026, $1.5 million over five years with annual funding capped at $300,000). Procurement velocity remains strong across strategic planning, transportation engineering, social services, and data analytics domains through mid-2026.
