NIGP 94832: Dietician Services

NIGP 94832 Dietician Services, an Item code, encompasses professional nutrition consultation and meal planning oversight delivered directly to institutional and community-based clients, with state and local governments currently procuring registered dietitian services for long-term care facilities, correctional institutions, state-supported living centers, school districts, community nutrition programs, and public health program evaluation. Recent solicitations show demand spanning independent clinical dietitian contracting (typically 20–32 hours monthly on-site or remote), institutional menu development and regulatory compliance support, dietary assessments and care plan revision, specialized analysis of nutrition-assistance program data, and coordination of training and professional development on school health and nutrition education. The issuing bodies purchasing under this code are predominantly state departments (Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Missouri Department of Social Services, Florida Department of Children and Families, Utah Department of Corrections), county governments (Walworth County, Wisconsin; Santa Clara County, California), municipalities (City of Peoria, Arizona; City of San Antonio, Texas), and special-purpose entities (Pre-K 4 SA). Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs appears as a repeat buyer, posting multiple dietitian services solicitations for Manteno facility dietitian positions throughout the summer and fall of 2026.

Activity in this code concentrates in Texas, Illinois, Wisconsin, Utah, Florida, Arizona, California, and Missouri, with the largest recent procurement volume in Texas and Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs soliciting registered dietitians for institutional menu planning and review at three correctional facilities under a five-year qualifications-based selection (RFQ due October 12, 2026); Walworth County requesting licensed clinical dietitians for long-term care facility services covering approximately 32 hours monthly (RFP due August 17, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission seeking a dietician position at Lubbock State Supported Living Center (IFB due July 22, 2026); the City of San Antonio's Pre-K 4 SA program procuring comprehensive nutritional services including dietician consulting for CACFP-compliant meal programs (RFP due June 11, 2026); and the Florida Department of Children and Families issuing an RFI for data analytics and evaluation support on SNAP purchasing behavior (responses due December 14, 2026). Qualifications typically mandate current state licensure as a registered dietitian, demonstrating long-term care or institutional experience, and carrying professional liability and general liability insurance; compensation is frequently fixed hourly or estimated with firm pricing for the initial one- or two-year contract term, and many jurisdictions structure dietitian services as independent contractor engagements with no subcontracting permitted.
