NIGP 92405: Advisory Services, Educational

NIGP 92405 Advisory Services, Educational is an Item code under which state and local governments procure direct instructional support, program implementation, and educator professional development—grounded in recent solicitations that span curriculum design, student-services coaching, specialized educator placement, and grant-related compliance support. The code captures work that sits between contracted staff augmentation and advisory consulting: school districts and education agencies hire external advisors to strengthen programs, implement new models, evaluate outcomes, and deliver training at scale when internal capacity is insufficient or specialized expertise is needed. Recent opportunities show school districts (Stockton Unified, Katy ISD, Eugene District 4J, Clark County, Buffalo Public Schools, Muscogee County) and state education agencies (Texas Education Agency, Oregon Department of Education, Washington OSPI, South Dakota Department of Education, Illinois State Board of Education) posting for curriculum development, literacy intervention support, educational diagnosticians, career-pathway design, instructional materials review administration, and program evaluation. A secondary tier of activity involves nonprofit capacity-building and specialized training: community colleges, library systems, and state agencies solicit for leadership development, early literacy coaching networks, afterschool-program evaluation, JAG program implementation mentoring, and restraint-and-timeout training delivery.

Geographic activity spans Texas (TEA hosting multiple RFPs for curriculum, literacy tools, pathways, and assessment development); California (Stockton Unified, Orange County Libraries, State of California Office of Energy Infrastructure); Washington (OSPI federal grant consulting, DCYF adolescent transitional living); Nevada (Clark County textbook adoption and teacher-of-deaf-and-hard-of-hearing placement); Oregon (ODE early literacy provider lists, RFA for Native student success); Florida (FSDB Newsela license procurement, State Library Services evaluation); Georgia (Muscogee County career curriculum, City of McDonough code revision, City of Savannah CDA training); and Illinois (ISBE restraint-and-timeout training, National Board certification processing). Stockton Unified School District issued RFP 26-27-02 for academic and emotional support services (mentorship, enrichment, social-emotional wellness, career planning, STEM programming, restorative justice) with proposals due August 4, 2026, encouraging DBE, SLBE, and SELBE participation and requiring three years of K-12 school district experience. The Texas Education Agency issued multiple concurrent procurements: RFP 701-26-018 for 21st Century Community Learning Centers evaluation (due June 3, 2026, $1.5 million over five years), RFP 701-26-002 for supplemental math curriculum (due June 15, 2026), RFP 701-26-003 for foundational literacy intervention tools (due June 15, 2026), and RFP 701-26-007 for instructional materials review and approval contractor (due May 1, 2026, managing 200–1,200 materials annually through May 2032). Washington State OSPI issued RFQQ 202702 for federal grant consulting on Education Department regulations and policy (due August 17, 2026, $55.2 million maximum contract value for two fiscal years). Muscogee County School District issued RFP 26-024 for career-infused curriculum design, grades 6–8 (due August 27, 2026, with mandatory pre-proposal conference July 24). Eugene School District 4J announced three direct-appointment contracts totaling $128,224.25 for autism spectrum disorder instruction (Everyday Speech), at-risk student identification (AspirEDU), and social-emotional learning (Committee for Children). Illinois State Board of Education posted RFP for statewide restraint-and-timeout training and professional learning (due June 8, 2026, three-year term from July 1, 2026, with 75 percent federal funding). The code sees steady activity with moderate geographic spread across major states, repeat issuing bodies (Texas Education Agency, Clark County School District, school districts in California and Washington), and mixed set-aside participation (HUB requirements in Texas; DBE, SLBE, SELBE in California; MBE, WBE, VBE in Nevada and Oregon).
