NIGP 91870: Inventory Consulting

NIGP 91870 Inventory Consulting, an Item code, encompasses asset management strategy development, physical inventory execution, baseline data collection, and operational planning services that state and local governments solicit to establish audit-ready asset registries, reconcile records against actual holdings, and design long-term stewardship frameworks. Recent solicitations reveal two distinct work streams: comprehensive technology-enabled asset management platform implementations supporting lifecycle management across infrastructure portfolios (transportation, water, facilities, transit), and tactical physical inventory projects—counting and tagging tangible assets, reconciling discrepancies, and producing audit-compliant documentation. A third stream addresses operational and maintenance strategy consulting for large systems (trails, fire services, public works) where governments need to forecast costs, establish funding mechanisms, and design organizational structures for complex multi-jurisdiction or multi-facility operations. Issuing bodies span county governments (Collier County, Broward County, Beaufort County), municipalities (Atlanta, Waco, Columbus, College Park), special-purpose districts (Atlanta BeltLine Inc.), and school districts (Dayton Public Schools), alongside higher-education procurement on behalf of state university systems (Albany State University for the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia).

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and is geographically dispersed across Florida (Collier, Broward), Georgia (Atlanta, College Park, Columbus), South Carolina (Beaufort), Texas (Waco), and Ohio (Dayton). Representative solicitations include Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for an Enterprise Asset Management Solution (response due October 23, 2026) establishing a cloud-based SaaS platform for 1,100 users across transportation, water, stormwater, parks, and transit with mandatory GIS integration and five-year EAM implementation experience required; the City of Atlanta Department of Public Works' competitive sealed-bid procurement for a comprehensive physical inventory and reconciliation of 6,500–7,000 fleet assets with audit-ready deliverables and an estimated value not to exceed $225,000, due June 19, 2026; Atlanta BeltLine Inc.'s RFP for a Maintenance, Operations, and Funding Strategy and dynamic planning model for the 22-mile mainline trail system (due October 22, 2026); and Dayton Public School District's request for proposals for one-time physical inventory and barcode tagging of capital assets across 26 buildings (due July 31, 2026). Collier County's solicitation emphasizes local proposer preference (10 points) and carries mandatory compliance with detailed Technical Architectural and Compatibility standards, HIPAA and PCI DSS, and 99.5% system uptime requirements; Broward County's open-end indefinite-quantity contract for Port Everglades asset inventory requires E-Verify enrollment and port-specific security badge compliance with fingerprinting and background checks.
