NIGP 94865: Nursing Home Services

NIGP 94865 Nursing Home Services is an Item code describing comprehensive operational and clinical management of skilled nursing facilities and long-term care residences, including medical and nursing care, rehabilitation therapy, dietary services, pharmaceuticals, janitorial and laundry operations, maintenance, personnel management, and quality assurance. State and local governments are currently soliciting under this code for two distinct service lines: turnkey facility management and operation contracts for existing state-operated veterans homes and specialized nursing facilities, and capacity-allocation proposals from licensed providers seeking to expand long-term care bed inventory in defined geographic areas. The issuing bodies span state departments (Georgia Department of Veterans Service, Texas General Land Office and Veterans Land Board, South Dakota Department of Health, Illinois Department of Public Health) and county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System in California). Georgia and Texas have posted recent RFI and RFP activity for war home and veterans facility operations; South Dakota is conducting an ongoing rolling RFP for additional nursing facility beds through June 30, 2027, with 991 beds available statewide for reallocation.

Activity concentrates in the South, Upper Midwest, and West Coast. The Texas RFP for management and operation services at the William R. Courtney Texas State Veterans Home in Temple (160 beds, 30 designated for Alzheimer's care) closed September 11, 2026, with proposals evaluated through September 21 and contract execution targeted for September 25 through October 9; the incumbent operator is STG International, Inc. South Dakota's ongoing solicitation accepts proposals until June 30, 2027, and explicitly encourages dedicated capacity in specialized areas—bariatric, behavioral health, tracheostomy care, and extended long-term stay—with preference given to providers committing to home and community-based service expansion. Illinois Department of Public Health executed an emergency sole-source contract with Certisurv, LLC on June 30, 2026, for clinical monitoring and survey services at high-risk facilities, with an estimated expenditure of $2,764,800 over an initial 90-day period. Georgia's September 10, 2026 RFI on a DVS War Home solution (due October 2, 2026) is information-gathering only and does not commit the state to a competitive solicitation or preference for respondents, though early response ensures visibility to the procurement team.
