NIGP 95020: Grants, Individuals

NIGP 95020 Grants, Individuals is an Item code under which state and local governments solicit grant writing, grant administration, and related compliance services for federally and state-funded development projects. The scope of work spans grant application preparation, financial administration, environmental review and draw-request management, and compliance with federal labor standards, fair housing, and acquisition regulations such as Davis-Bacon, Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing, and Uniform Relocation Assistance requirements. Cities and municipalities issue RFQs seeking qualified consulting firms to manage grant-funded infrastructure, community development, and housing initiatives on a project-by-project basis, often establishing standing consulting relationships for multiple opportunities within a defined period. The work typically involves supporting local government implementation of Community Development Block Grants, HOME Investment Partnerships, Economic Development Administration projects, and other federal funding mechanisms, with firms required to demonstrate prior success in federal and state grant administration and compliance.

Recent activity centers in Georgia, where the City of Pembroke issued an RFQ due July 30, 2026, seeking engineering and grant management services for a $3.779 million drinking water resiliency project funded in part by Georgia Environmental Finance Authority Hurricane Helene Resilience Funding, and the City of Monroe issued an RFQ due May 4, 2026, for grant writing and administration services for CDBG-funded infrastructure and housing projects with standing consideration for future federally funded opportunities within 24 months. Both solicitations emphasize demonstrated experience in federal compliance, project management across multiple funding streams, and past performance with local government clients.
