NIGP 95041: Grants, Other Political Subdisions

NIGP 95041 Grants, Other Political Subdivisions is an Item code under which state and local governments competitively award pass-through federal grant funding to nonprofit service providers. The code captures solicitations for subrecipient funding tied to federal programs — most visibly Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) public services — where the issuing jurisdiction acts as the administrative intermediary between federal agencies and local nonprofit operators. State and local buyers under this code are primarily county commissioners and municipal governments administering federal entitlements; they solicit proposals from 501(c)(3) nonprofits to deliver social services, housing support, workforce development, and related activities that satisfy federal community development objectives and income-targeting requirements. The typical work involves funding for homeless services, child care, health care, employment training, senior services, legal services, youth services, domestic violence services, substance abuse services, and HUD-certified housing counseling, contingent on the issuing body's federal allocation and programmatic priorities.

Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued RFP2600139 on January 28, 2026, seeking proposals from qualified nonprofits to deliver CDBG public services during Program Year 2026 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027), with a response deadline of February 25, 2026. The county allocated $600,000 across the competitive public services track, capping individual awards at $120,000. Eligible applicants are Florida-incorporated 501(c)(3) organizations in good standing for a minimum of two years, required to demonstrate financial stability through audited statements, current IRS Form 990 filings, and at least 90 days of cash reserves. Evaluation favored CDBG experience, past subrecipient performance, leveraging of non-county funds, and service locations within one mile of mass transit or in Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Areas. Projects must serve beneficiaries at or below 80 percent Area Median Income with at least 51 percent meeting income thresholds, and all work must conclude within one year of the executed funding agreement.
