NIGP 95208: Assisted Living Services

NIGP 95208 Assisted Living Services, an Item code, encompasses in-home and facility-based supportive services for vulnerable populations — seniors, adults with mental illness, and children with special needs — where state and local governments contract for direct care, financial management, meal preparation, and respite support. Recent solicitations show a shift from traditional assisted living facility operations to wraparound community-based models combining short-term crisis intervention, interim housing, specialized respite, and financial literacy services. County health departments, social services agencies, and public health authorities are the primary issuing bodies, often pairing housing or benefits management with clinical supervision and recovery-oriented case management.

Activity spans multiple states and jurisdictions. Solano County, California Department of Health and Social Services posted an RFP on July 9, 2026 (due July 8, 2026) seeking combined interim shelter and housing placements for up to 50 adults with serious mental illness, estimated at $1.2 million annually with five-year renewal options. Hillsborough County, Florida Board of County Commissioners issued an ITB on June 3, 2026 (due June 25, 2026) for senior meal preparation and delivery services across 25 congregate and home-delivery sites, valued at $17.8 million over three years. Montgomery County, Pennsylvania Department of Health and Human Services issued an RFP in April 2026 for Representative Payee financial management services for up to 90 adults with severe mental illness, with performance metrics tied to benefit preservation and housing stability. Boulder County Public Health, Colorado issued an RFP in March 2026 for in-home respite care for families with disabled infants and toddlers, capped at $28,500. All solicitations emphasize HIPAA compliance, insurance thresholds ranging from $500,000 to $2 million depending on service intensity, and outcome metrics focused on housing stability, benefit continuity, and independent living.
