NIGP 94652: Grant Writing Services

NIGP 94652 Grant Writing Services, an Item code, covers the full lifecycle of federal and state grant management—from application development through post-award compliance and closeout—that state and local governments procure to secure and administer federally funded infrastructure, community development, housing, and economic development projects. State and local procurement offices issue the vast majority of these solicitations as RFQs and RFPs; recent activity shows cities, counties, and special districts in Georgia, Texas, Florida, and other states competing for consultants to write and administer CDBG, ARC, EDA, HOME, and similar federal grants with immediate projects spanning water/sewer infrastructure, emergency services facilities, housing, and economic development.

Recent opportunities show consistent issuing-body patterns: Georgia cities (Barnesville, Calhoun, Cedartown, LaFayette, Oakwood, Temple, Lyons, Soperton, Monroe, Baxley, Swainsboro, Bryan County, Jacksonville, Forest Park, Greenville County SC, and others) and counties dominate the activity, with Texas counties (Orange, Galveston, Hays) and Florida entities (Broward County Transportation Department, City of Newark NJ, City of Tucson) filing intermittent requests. Georgia municipalities cluster their grant-writing RFQs around immediate CDBG and ARC projects with response deadlines typically 30–60 days out; the City of Barnesville (RFQ PE68550NONST2027000000012, due August 10, 2026) seeks CDBG grant writing, administration, environmental review, draw requests, financial management, and closeout support for water/sewer infrastructure with Section 3 preference; the City of Oakwood (RFE PE66965NONST2028000000003, due June 8, 2026) targets preliminary engineering support for ARC pre-applications and FHWA Safe Streets for All grants. Orange County, Texas (RFP 26005, due July 8, 2026) is procuring grant application and contract administration for TxCDBG on behalf of Mauriceville Municipal Utility District. Broward County Transportation Department's consulting RFP (TRN2131774P1, due July 17, 2026) diverges into technical scope—it seeks BRT program planning and design support across six 76-mile corridors with a $30 million five-year budget for up to three awarded firms, reflecting infrastructure-scale complexity beyond traditional grant writing. Most Georgia and Texas RFQs explicitly encourage Section 3 Business Concern participation and require applicant experience with HUD, EDA, ARC, and state agencies; fees are frequently proposed as percentages of project costs or lump sums for application writing and post-award administration.
