NIGP 91893: Security/Safety Consulting

NIGP 91893 Security/Safety Consulting is an Item code encompassing vendor expertise in threat assessment, physical and cybersecurity risk evaluation, specialized program management, and operational guidance for law enforcement, municipal, and institutional clients. Recent state and local solicitations frame the code as buyers seeking outside expertise to assess vulnerabilities, develop compliance and safety strategies, manage off-duty or secondary employment programs, and modernize aging security infrastructure. This reflects a shift from traditional consulting (policy or procedural guidance) toward integrated service-delivery management and technology-enabled risk reduction.

Issuing bodies span municipal police departments (Wichita, Fort Worth, Atlanta), counties (Collin County in Texas, Rockland County in New York, Hillsborough County in Florida, Collier County in Florida, Harris County in Texas), state agencies (Texas, California, Florida), school districts and colleges (Newton County Schools, Temple ISD, Portland Community College), and specialized public entities (courts, medical centers, transit authorities). The City of Wichita and Collin County appear as repeat buyers, issuing RFPs for off-duty officer management and full-body scanner integration and threat/vulnerability assessment respectively. Recent activity concentrates in Texas (Wichita, Lubbock, College Park, Fort Worth, Temple ISD, Harris County, Collin County), Florida (DeBary, Tampa/Hillsborough, Collier County, Leon County), Georgia (Atlanta Beltline, College Park, Gwinnett County, Macon-Bibb County), and California (Los Angeles County Superior Court), with secondary activity in New York, South Carolina, Utah, Colorado, and other states. Representative current opportunities include the City of Wichita's RFP #260237 (due January 8, 2027) for off-duty officer secondary employment management services—a web-based platform enabling 711 commissioned officers to schedule, track, and report secondary work with payroll integration; Gwinnett County's RFP RP032-26 (proposals due September 28, 2026) for an independent assessment of over 3,100 IP cameras and supporting infrastructure across 100 locations with recommendations for optimization and replacement strategy; and the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles RFP (due August 28, 2026) for a threat and vulnerability assessment across 38 court locations, covering physical security, CPTED principles, security technology, and operational resilience. Collin County's RFP 2026-155 (September 17 deadline, passed) solicited a full-body scanner turnkey solution for detention facility admissions with AI-enabled contraband detection, four-hour technical support response, and integration with county records management systems. The code also captures information-gathering exercises: Harris County RFI for AI-powered camera monitoring and analytics (due July 24, 2026), Collier County RFI for physical security infrastructure modernization across 83 county locations, and Temple ISD RFI for managed detection and response cybersecurity services. Activity indicates buyers increasingly bundle risk assessment, technology procurement, integration, and ongoing managed services rather than engage separate consultants for planning alone.
