NIGP 95061: Subawards, Federal, State, First $25,000

NIGP 95061 Subawards, Federal, State, First $25,000 is an Item code under which state and local governments distribute grant funding and subgrant awards to nonprofit organizations, public entities, and other eligible service providers for the delivery of human services and community support programs. State and local buyers under this code are primarily departments of human services, social services divisions, and health authorities that administer state-funded or federally-derived grant programs to address family support, crisis stabilization, substance abuse intervention, and child welfare prevention. The work involves issuing Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications from qualified nonprofits and public agencies, establishing eligibility criteria, conducting competitive scoring of applications, issuing subgrant awards, and managing compliance and reporting requirements. Awards typically carry matching-fund obligations, reporting burdens including monthly financial and performance metrics, and adherence to federal regulations under 2 CFR 200 and state accounting standards.

Recent activity centers on Nevada, where the Nevada Department of Human Services and Division of Social Services have issued multiple NOFOs for family preservation, family resource center expansion, and emergency assistance services. The Nevada Division of Social Services issued a FY27 Notice of Funding Opportunity (Solicitation 40DHHSS3725) posted February 25, 2026, with an application deadline of April 14, 2026, for rapid-response emergency assistance and stabilization services to families in crisis due to substance use disorders, with $5 million available through a competitive process and multiple awards anticipated. The Nevada Department of Human Services issued a separate NOFO (Solicitation 40DHHSS3882) posted May 19, 2026, with an application deadline of May 29, 2026, for Family Resource Center program establishment or expansion in Lincoln County funded through tobacco settlement monies, with an estimated single award of $16,830.00. Both opportunities required applicants to meet nonprofit or public-entity status, demonstrate service-delivery capacity, comply with federal and state regulations, and submit detailed narratives, budgets, and personnel documentation; no incumbent contractors were named, and no disadvantaged-enterprise set-asides were specified in either opportunity.
