NIGP 95015: Grants, Counties

NIGP 95015 Grants, Counties is an Item code under which state and local governments procure grant writing, grant administration, grant compliance monitoring, and related professional services to manage federally funded programs and disaster recovery initiatives. Recent solicitations show counties and municipalities buying grant management support across FEMA hazard mitigation buyouts, community development block grants (CDBG-DR), stormwater infrastructure projects, Title IV-E foster care legal services reimbursement, and juvenile justice grant programs. The issuing bodies span county governments (Escambia County, Florida; Macon-Bibb County, Georgia; Hays County, Texas; Clark County, Nevada) and municipalities (City of Monroe, Georgia), with Escambia County appearing as a repeat buyer across multiple disaster recovery and infrastructure grant initiatives. Work scoped under this code includes preparing federal grant applications, managing compliance with federal labor standards (Davis-Bacon prevailing wage), HUD Section 3 employment and contracting requirements, financial draw and disbursement requests, environmental review record management, closeout documentation, and developing web-based grant management systems that integrate with federal reporting platforms such as HUD's Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting (DRGR) system.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas and Nevada. Representative opportunities include Escambia County's CDBG-DR Stormwater Consulting Services RFP (PD2526051, due March 27, 2026) seeking grant compliance monitoring, HUD Section 3 compliance, and Davis-Bacon reporting for four stormwater projects with an estimated contract value of approximately $24.8 million; Escambia County's Hurricane Ian HMGP Buyout grant management and professional services RFP (PD2526071, due June 25, 2026) with a maximum federal reimbursement of $1,582,578.70; Macon-Bibb County's Juvenile Justice Incentive Grant Program request for professional services (PE61100NONST2026000000119, due May 28, 2026) to manage Functional Family Therapy delivery to at-risk youth; and Hays County's grant writing and management services pool RFP (RFP2026-P07, due January 29, 2026) covering FEMA Hazard Mitigation and state water development board grants. Contracts typically run multiyear terms with optional renewals, require professional liability insurance ranging from $1 million to $2 million, and mandate compliance with federal procurement standards, Build America Buy America Act requirements, and debarment/suspension verification.
