NIGP 95280: Senior Aides Program

NIGP 95280 Senior Aides Program is an Item code covering case management, supportive services, and direct assistance programs designed to help older adults and vulnerable populations maintain independence and access community resources. State and local governments procure this work through a mix of county social services departments, city housing authorities, municipal parks divisions, and specialized Area Agencies on Aging, typically as multi-year contracts funded through federal and state grants or general fund allocations. The scope encompasses intake and assessment, intensive case management with housing navigation, day programs and recreation services, meal programs, home-based services including chore and personal care assistance, emergency response systems, caregiver support and education, and community living connection services. Work is solicited across multiple issuing body types: county human services and aging departments (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Summit County), city housing authorities (Alameda), city parks divisions (Madison), and municipal youth and senior service departments (Salem). Recent activity shows contracts spanning from small focused procurements to comprehensive portfolio-wide agreements covering dozens of properties and hundreds of service units.

Geographic spread of recent activity includes Florida (Collier County), California (Santa Clara County, Alameda), Utah (Summit County), Wisconsin (Madison), Massachusetts (Salem), and Michigan (Detroit), with no single region dominating. Representative recent opportunities include Collier County's home-based seniors services RFP (due May 14, 2026) soliciting vendors for adult day care, chore services, homemaking, personal care, respite, skilled nursing, and emergency alert services across grant-funded programs; Santa Clara County's Community Living Connection RFP (due March 10, 2026) seeking case management and supportive services for older adults and disabled residents with an estimated $400,000 annual budget and option for four one-year renewals; the Housing Authority of the City of Alameda's social services management RFP (due July 16, 2026) for daily services, counseling, and specialized programs across approximately 800 units with staffing requirements detailed as 8.54 to 10.91 FTE over five-year pricing (2027-2031); and Salem's youth outreach lease procurement (due June 16, 2026) for three-year space at Collins Middle School with $2,200 monthly rent. All recent RFPs emphasize MSW credentials or equivalent case management qualifications, substantial insurance requirements (general liability typically $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence), federal compliance including nondiscrimination and debarment certifications, and demonstrated experience serving target populations with cultural competency and language access.
