NIGP 92480 Tutoring, an Item code, encompasses direct student tutoring services and instructional support programming that state and local governments procure to address academic skill gaps, credit recovery, English language learner needs, and Title I equitable services obligations. School districts are the dominant buyers under this code, with recent activity ranging from competitive RFPs for tutoring service banks and virtual learning platforms to sole-source procurements for specialized dropout reengagement and ELL coaching programs. Stockton Unified School District (California) issued RFP 26-27-02 in July 2026 for academic, extracurricular, and emotional support services including mentorship, STEM enrichment, and social-emotional wellness programming, with proposals due August 4, 2026 and DBE/SLBE/SELBE preferences encouraged.
