NIGP 94650: Fund Raising Services

NIGP 94650 Fund Raising Services, an Item code, encompasses services that support school district and municipal fundraising operations, including vendor management for student-led fundraising activities, event planning and coordination, and approved-vendor-list administration for product sales. Recent solicitations show school districts establishing approved vendor lists for food and product fundraisers subject to state charitable solicitations statutes, while municipalities procure event planning services (parade coordination, brand strategy development) classified as fundraising support. Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District in Texas and Salt Lake City School District in Utah represent the primary repeat buyers, both seeking to manage vendor compliance and student fundraising initiatives through formalized procurement processes. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are overwhelmingly K–12 school districts and municipal departments; no state agencies, counties, or transit authorities appear in recent postings. Salt Lake City School District issued multiple solicitations (most recently in June 2026) for approved vendor lists under Utah Code 13-22, while CFISD posted District Fundraiser Services requests with response dates extending into 2027.

Activity clusters in Texas and Utah, with secondary posting from Arizona (Glendale Elementary School District marketing services). Representative recent opportunities include Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District's District Fundraiser Services RFP (solicitation 26072020RRFP, due June 30, 2027) seeking vendors to provide fundraising services supporting school operations and student activities; Salt Lake City School District's Approved Vendor List Fundraiser Vendors SOQ (DH2676AF, due July 14, 2026 through Bonfirehub.com) requiring State of Utah Department of Commerce Fundraiser Permits, commercial co-venturer letters, or exemption letters, with vendors prohibited from door-to-door student solicitation, sales quotas, pre-purchasing requirements, and tobacco or alcohol advertising, and evaluated on a 500-point scale with minimum 375-point approval threshold; and the City of Dallas's MLK Parade Planning one-year not-to-exceed service contract (BYZ2600030369, due July 10, 2026) to coordinate all aspects of the annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. parade. Evaluation criteria across school district opportunities emphasize vendor qualifications, complaint resolution history, client references, and compliance with charitable solicitations law and FERPA privacy requirements. Initial contract terms do not exceed 18 months for school fundraising vendors, with all agreements expiring June 30 of the following year.
