NIGP 94938: Loan Repayment to Other State Agencies

NIGP 94938 Loan Repayment To Other State Agencies, an Item code, captures state and local government transactions where one public agency reimburses another for funds previously advanced or loaned. Based on recent procurement activity, the code encompasses grant consulting and strategic funding advisory services that help municipalities and special-purpose districts identify, pursue, and secure state and federal grant programs—including loan-forgiveness initiatives—to offset capital project costs. The issuing bodies under this code include special-purpose districts such as sewerage authorities and regional water utilities that lack internal capacity for continuous grant monitoring and application support and seek external consulting expertise to bridge that gap.

The Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District, serving approximately 440,000 people across 24 communities in the Madison area, posted a market-research RFI in August 2026 (MMSD2026STRATEGICFUNDINGGRANTCONSULTINGSERVICES) seeking qualified consulting firms to assess long-term strategy for maximizing funding opportunities through programs such as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act. The District requested responses by September 8, 2026, with respondents required to demonstrate documented experience with the U.S. Department of Energy, USDA, EPA, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wisconsin DNR, and Congressional earmarks. Geographic activity is concentrated in the Midwest, with Wisconsin showing recent procurement momentum in this category. The RFI process remained confidential pending issuance of a formal RFP, suggesting active follow-on procurement intent by the District in late 2026 or early 2027.
