NIGP 91875: Management Consulting

NIGP 91875 Management Consulting, an Item code, encompasses strategic advisory, organizational assessment, program evaluation, and implementation support services that state and local governments procure to address policy, operational, and structural challenges across departments and agencies. Recent state and local solicitations show governments buying facilitation and task force leadership for regulatory process improvement, compensation and market pay studies, strategic planning and roadmap development, organizational restructuring assessments, performance audits, feasibility studies, and specialized consulting in areas including criminal justice diversion, economic development, facility management, and AI governance. Counties, cities, school districts, and state agencies are the primary issuing bodies, with repeat activity from county executive offices and probation departments pursuing justice-system consulting and from state departments (commerce, arts councils, procurement offices) seeking strategic and programmatic guidance.

Representative recent opportunities span diverse jurisdictions and scope. San Mateo County Executive's Office posted RFP 2026RFP00593 (due August 3, 2026) for a facilitator to lead a Permit Entitlement Blue Ribbon Task Force assessing the County's Planning and Building Department operations, with local-business preference applying and a three-year contract term. Tuolumne County Probation Department simultaneously posted two RFPs (both due August 9, 2026): RFP20250130 for employment services and emergency support for Proposition 47-eligible individuals, and RFP20250128 for case management, risk assessments, and substance-use treatment programming under the same grant. The Washington State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction issued RFQQ202702 (due August 17, 2026) for federal grant consulting monitoring Department of Education regulation and legislation, with maximum contract value of $55,200 and an initial two-year term.

Austin Independent School District, the California Arts Council, Covered California, and state procurement offices in Washington and Georgia have similarly posted strategic planning, roadmap development, and specialized performance-audit consulting requests. Geographic activity concentrates in California, Washington, Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with secondary activity across the Northeast, Southeast, and Mountain West.
