NIGP 94886: Therapy and Rehabilitation Services

NIGP 94886 Therapy and Rehabilitation Services, Item tier, encompasses direct clinical rehabilitation, therapeutic intervention, and counseling services that state and local governments procure to support institutionalized populations, school districts, justice-involved individuals, and community-based clients. State and local agencies are soliciting under this code for speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, orientation and mobility services, music therapy, art therapy, peer support services, crisis intervention, behavioral coaching, and specialized psychological evaluations. The issuing bodies span state departments of health, corrections, and education; county human services and school systems; municipal police and fire departments; special districts; and independent school districts across multiple states. Representatives of recent activity include the California Department of Veterans Affairs' solicitation for temporary relief speech pathology services at the Veterans Home of California at Yountville (IFB 26CRY008, due July 29, 2026), the City of Phoenix's request for a shoplifting/theft diversion program with counseling services (RFP PS-26-0265, due May 27, 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission's multiple solicitations for orientation and mobility specialists at state supported living centers and schools for the blind, and Michigan's request for occupational therapy services at the Michigan School for the Deaf (RFP due July 28, 2026). School districts dominate the volume, seeking speech-language pathologists, occupational and physical therapists, and related special education services on both as-needed and ongoing staffing bases.

Geographic concentration reflects significant recent activity in Texas (HHSC multiple regional facilities), California (state facilities and schools), Georgia (Cherokee County and Clayton County school districts), Washington State (DCYF and Department of Commerce), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools and Agency for Persons with Disabilities), and Arizona (Phoenix municipal services). The code captures both direct service delivery (therapy provision to individual clients) and consultation, evaluation, and program management contracts. Typical contract structures are three-year initial terms with renewal options, rate-based pricing by service category or hourly billing, and volume-contingent compensation with no guaranteed minimums. Set-asides appear in select solicitations (DVBE preferences in California, SBE preferences in Washington, local business preferences in Arizona and Georgia). The market is active and fragmented across dozens of jurisdictions with no apparent consolidation onto cooperative purchasing vehicles, suggesting ongoing opportunity for both regional specialists and national staffing and therapy service providers.
