NIGP 91893: Security/Safety Consulting

NIGP 91893 Security/Safety Consulting is an Item code encompassing professional security and safety advisory services that state and local governments procure to address operational risk, infrastructure protection, emergency preparedness, and physical/cybersecurity needs. Recent opportunities show demand spanning cybersecurity operations center monitoring and incident response, emergency management exercises and disaster-preparedness consulting, airport and facility security systems integration, safety audits and action planning, fire service consolidation studies, and specialized security assessments including penetration testing and compliance oversight. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city purchasing departments, county sheriffs and courts, state departments and universities, transit authorities, and public authorities. The City of Lubbock (airport cybersecurity services, RFP August 6, 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission (federal funds tracking system, RFI August 6, 2026), Harris County (AI-powered monitoring solutions, RFI July 24, 2026), and Beaufort County, South Carolina (fire consolidation study, RFQ July 9, 2026) represent recent activity across municipal, county, and state tiers.

Geographic concentration centers on Texas, Florida, Georgia, and the broader Southeast, with secondary activity in the Mid-Atlantic and Pacific regions. Texas dominates with opportunities from the State Department of Information Resources (Security Operations Center procurement, May 29, 2026 deadline), Lubbock Power & Light (NERC CIP staffing, April 30, 2026), and multiple municipal departments.
