NIGP 95226: Day Care (Adult)

NIGP 95226 Day Care (Adult), an Item code, encompasses subsidized and grant-funded adult day services for seniors and functionally impaired adults, including medical adult day care, congregate senior meals, peer support services, and employment training for individuals with disabilities awaiting placement or services. State and local governments procure these services through a mix of competitive grant programs, indefinite-quantity contracts, and invitation-for-application vehicles, with issuing bodies spanning municipal human services departments, county boards, state health and social-services agencies, and regional authorities. The work ranges from operational adult day care center services delivered at licensed facilities to curriculum development and peer mentoring supports addressing employment readiness and community integration for disabled and aging populations.
