NIGP 95240: Elderly Assistance Services

NIGP 95240 Elderly Assistance Services, an Item code, encompasses direct-care and support services for seniors that state and local governments are actively procuring across congregate meals, in-home caregiving, case management, transportation, and specialized programming. Recent solicitations reveal a diverse issuing-body mix spanning county health districts, city governments, county social services agencies, state workforce commissions, and state departments of aging, with repeat activity from Texas workforce authorities and California's Department of Aging. The scope extends beyond meal delivery to include caregiver services coordination, dementia support, senior center operations, paratransit programs for transportation-disadvantaged populations, and case management enabling independent living—reflecting government investment in aging-in-place strategies and interdisciplinary service delivery. Hillsborough County, Florida's ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery spans fourteen dining centers, seven senior centers, and four adult daycare centers with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90; the Alexandria, Virginia RFP for congregate senior center operations requires facility management, programming, and staffing under a two-year initial term with three one-year renewals. The City of Alexandria, the Florida Agency for Persons with Disabilities, the County of Santa Clara, and the Texas Workforce Commission appear multiple times in recent postings, signaling sustained demand and repeat-buyer relationships.

Geographic activity concentrates in California, Texas, and Florida, with secondary activity in Wisconsin, Oregon, and Virginia.
