NIGP 95290: Training and Instruction (for Clients, Not Staff)

NIGP 95290 Training And Instruction (For Clients, Not Staff) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure specialized professional development, skills training, and educational services delivered to external clients and service populations rather than to government employees. Recent activity reflects a broad spectrum of training delivery: wage and hour compensation analysis training for county HR staff, energy resilience community outreach and education campaigns, laboratory information management system integration training, adolescent transitional living program curricula, incident command system instruction, music therapy services for blind and visually impaired youth, diabetes self-management education, orientation and mobility training for vocational rehabilitation customers, childcare educator professional development, hearing officer services, LGBTQIA+ competency training for crisis hotline staff, promotional testing for fire department candidates, and aircraft rescue firefighting operations instruction.

State and local issuing bodies span counties (Butts County, Georgia; Seminole County, Florida; Dallas County, Texas), cities (Detroit, Atlanta, Orlando, Pasadena), state departments and agencies (Texas HHSC, Washington Commerce, Illinois DHS, Georgia DOE, Oregon DELC), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Manor Independent School District), workforce development boards (Atlanta Regional Commission, Workforce Solutions Alamo), and special-purpose entities (Inland Empire Health Plan, Boulder County Human Services). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Commerce's energy resilience outreach and education RFP due August 13, 2026 (up to $230,000 reimbursement-based funding for nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's music therapy services RFP for blind and visually impaired individuals due April 17, 2026 (four regional contracts); the City of Detroit Fire Department's ICS 300/400 training RFQ due May 6, 2026 (approximately 1,000 participants across 20 course offerings); the Georgia Department of Education's suicide awareness and violence prevention training vendor pool due March 18, 2026 (establishing pre-qualified supplier pool for LEA contracting); and the Texas Workforce Commission's open-enrollment Orientation and Mobility services (rolling enrollment through November 24, 2026 at $75 per hour flat rate). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Washington, Illinois, Florida, and Colorado, with scattered municipal and county procurement across California and Michigan. No recent opportunities in this code are clustered by single repeat buyer; instead, the code shows broad categorical and geographic distribution reflective of client-facing service demand across human services, education, workforce development, and specialized health and remedial training sectors.
