NIGP 92471: School Operation and Management Services

NIGP 92471 School Operation and Management Services, an Item code, encompasses professional development delivery, specialized transportation, crossing guard services, staff and special education employer services, data system administration, and facility improvement contracting that school districts procure to support daily operations and compliance with federal education mandates. State and local buyers under this code span independent school districts, county school systems, state education departments, and municipalities; recent activity shows school districts as the dominant issuing bodies, with standout repeat buyers including Katy Independent School District (Texas), which has issued multiple supplemental RFPs for districtwide staff development across PreK-12 content areas, and Utah's state education board, which solicits specialized services including migrant education data systems and charter school consulting. The scope of work reflects a diverse mix: Katy ISD's RFP #2335AB-E seeks interactive, research-based professional development including face-to-face training, webinars, conferences, training-of-trainers, job-embedded coaching, and supporting materials across literacy, math, science, special education, English learners, and career and technical education, with a contract term from award through June 1, 2027 and optional one-year renewal; Stockton Unified School District procures specialized transportation services for students with severe disabilities requiring individualized accommodations and high-level safety protocols; the City of North Miami Beach seeks crossing guard services across elementary schools through an ITB with a three-year base term and two one-year renewal options; Griffin-Spalding County School System requests a managed service provider to recruit, hire, credential, and manage special education staffing across 18 schools; and Utah and Oregon state education departments solicit federal program monitoring support, data system administration, and education improvement consulting.
