NIGP 94611: Accounting Services (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 94611 Accounting Services (Not Otherwise Classified), an Item code, encompasses financial auditing, accounting support, compliance assessments, and specialized financial advisory services that state and local governments procure to meet statutory reporting requirements, federal compliance obligations, and internal financial management needs. Recent solicitations show agencies buying annual financial and single audits; forensic and recovery audits; cost allocation and indirect cost studies; federal award compliance reviews; construction audits; depreciation studies; and supplemental accounting and fiscal support for finance departments and specialized programs including higher education, public housing, behavioral health, utilities, airports, and workforce boards.

State departments, counties, cities, school districts, and special-purpose authorities all source under this code. Massachusetts Department of Higher Education, Salt Lake City Department of Airports, Seminole County (Florida), University of Central Florida, Florida Department of Financial Services, and Kissimmee Utility Authority are recent issuers; audit services appear consistently across state-level departments and county-level finance offices. Geographic spread spans Massachusetts, Florida, Colorado, Georgia, Texas, Utah, California, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina with activity distributed broadly across regions rather than concentrated in a few jurisdictions. Representative recent opportunities include the Massachusetts DHE seeking financial assessment and risk monitoring advisory support (RFQ due October 28, 2026); Salt Lake City International Airport requesting on-call internal audit services under GAGAS and IPPF standards (RFQ due October 30, 2026); Boulder County seeking independent auditing for its comprehensive annual financial report and Single Audit for fiscal years 2027–2031 (RFP due September 25, 2026); and University of Central Florida Direct Support Organizations requesting audit and tax services across eight DSOs with proposals due November 6, 2026. Incumbent vendors and qualification filters are consistent: responses require CPA licensure, relevant government or specialized-sector audit experience, professional liability insurance minimums in the $1–2 million range, Government Auditing Standards independence, and compliance with 2 CFR Part 200 Uniform Guidance where federal funds are involved.
