NIGP 91827: Community Development Consulting

NIGP 91827 Community Development Consulting, an Item code, encompasses facilitation, stakeholder engagement, and strategic planning advisory work that state and local governments procure to address land-use policy, permit processes, organizational assessment, and community-driven planning initiatives. The code captures consulting engagements where the deliverable is structured planning, stakeholder alignment, process improvement, or strategic visioning rather than design or infrastructure delivery. Recent state and local solicitations under this code span permit-entitlement facilitation, annexation feasibility studies, unified development ordinance updates, comprehensive plan preparation, economic development strategy, tax increment district redevelopment planning, and impact fee study methodology—work issued by county executives' offices, city planning departments, economic development authorities, school districts, and health departments across a mixed jurisdictional base.
