NIGP 95211: Babysitting or Nanny Services

NIGP 95211 Babysitting or Nanny Services, an Item code, covers in-home and facility-based childcare services that state and local governments procure to support employee benefit programs, work-life balance initiatives, and dependent-care assistance. The code encompasses both occasional babysitting and ongoing nanny placement or contracted childcare supervision, typically sourced through individual providers, agencies, or cooperative purchasing arrangements. State and local issuing bodies — including state human resources departments, county governments, municipalities, and school districts — use this code when establishing childcare vendor networks or subsidizing dependent-care access for their workforce. The service scope ranges from before-school and after-school supervision to full-day care coordination and emergency backup childcare arrangements.

No recent state or local contract opportunities under this Item code appear in available procurement records. Activity under NIGP 95211 remains limited at the state and local level, suggesting that most jurisdictions either source babysitting and nanny services through informal channels, employee-referral programs, or national childcare benefit platforms rather than formal solicitation. Procurement activity under this code, when it does occur, typically emerges from benefits-administration initiatives or special requests rather than as a standing procurement category.
