NIGP 95012: Grants, Community Service Projects, IDC

NIGP 95012 Grants, Community Service Projects is an Item code under which state and local governments solicit community engagement, collaborative planning, program administration, and capacity-building services tied to grant funding or public health and social improvement initiatives. Recent opportunities show counties, cities, and special districts procuring facilitation and community liaison services for health assessments, youth violence prevention, electrification planning, community health improvement collaboratives, and after-school programming—work that centers authentic community voice, multi-sector coordination, and outcomes measurement. San Mateo County Health has emerged as a repeat issuer, posting three separate RFPs since February 2026 for Community Health Assessment community engagement strategy (due August 7, 2026), Community Collaborative Planning and Implementation (due March 13, 2026 with anticipated June 15, 2026 award), and Community Health Improvement Plan Collaborative Planning Services (due August 22, 2025). Issuing bodies span county departments (San Mateo, Hillsborough, Orange, Pima, Montgomery), municipalities (Pasadena, Bridgeport, Tucson, Dublin), and special-purpose entities (Mauriceville Municipal Utility District). Most opportunities target nonprofit, community-based, or community-serving organizations with demonstrated cultural competency, experience engaging priority populations, and track records of collaborative work across multiple sectors.

Recent activity concentrates in California, Arizona, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Florida.
