NIGP 95239: Employment Generating Activities

NIGP 95239 Employment Generating Activities is an Item code under which state and local governments procure workforce development and employment services for populations facing barriers to work—including SNAP recipients, CalWORKs clients, refugees, justice-involved youth, seniors, and people with disabilities. Recent solicitations show government agencies buying comprehensive employment and training packages: job coaching and placement, vocational training and credentialing, case management, subsidized work experience, supportive services (transportation, childcare), and data management. The issuing-body mix spans state workforce agencies (Oregon Department of Human Services, Colorado Department of Human Services, California Department of Social Services), county governments (Solano, Orange, Pinal, DeKalb, Los Angeles), school districts (San Antonio Independent School District), and specialized boards (Pinal County Workforce Development Board, Massachusetts Office for Refugees and Immigrants). San Antonio ISD appears repeatedly with continuous open solicitations for student activities and fundraising services. Activity concentrates in California (Orange County, Solano County, statewide SNAP programs), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington), and major metro regions (Colorado, Georgia, Florida, Texas, Massachusetts).

Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Human Services' RFP for Refugee Employment and Pre-Employment Training Services (posted June 16, 2026, proposals due July 16, 2026), seeking two area-based contractors for refugee, asilee, and Special Immigrant Visa holder employment services across the state with not-to-exceed values of $3,000,000 for Area 1 (Portland-Metro) and $400,000 for Area 2 (Salem-Corvallis-Eugene), and the Colorado Department of Human Services' RFP for SNAP Employment and Training services through its Employee First Program (posted April 24, 2026, proposals due May 26, 2026), anticipating up to five awards statewide on a 50 percent reimbursement model for current vendors with demonstrated experience. County of Orange issued concurrent RFPs for WIOA Title I Career Services for Adult and Dislocated Worker Programs (posted June 30, 2026, proposals due December 10, 2025) with $5,000,000 total funding ($2,350,000 Adult, $2,650,000 Dislocated Worker) across two Workforce Solutions Centers, and for Special Projects Related to Workforce Development Services (posted July 1, 2026, proposals due February 3, 2025) across four service tracks: Business Development, Youth and Adult Workforce Development, Innovations, and Consultancy. Geographic concentration in California reflects state welfare-to-work and CalFresh employment integration mandates; federal WIOA funding drives sustained activity across multiple states.
