NIGP 95294: Transportation Services for the Elderly, Handicapped, Incapacitated, Prisoners, Juries, Students. etc.

NIGP 95294 Transportation Services for the Elderly, Handicapped, Incapacitated, Prisoners, Juries, Students, Etc., an Item code, encompasses non-emergency medical transport, paratransit for seniors and persons with disabilities, prisoner and custodial transport, student transportation, shared-ride taxi services, and specialized shuttle operations serving state and local public bodies. State and local governments procure under this code to move vulnerable or justice-involved populations—patients between healthcare facilities, seniors to medical appointments and senior centers, incarcerated individuals across jurisdictions, justice-involved youth to facilities and court dates, and students to school and extracurricular events. Recent solicitations show demand ranging from one-time chartered services to multi-year operational contracts with renewal options.

Issuing bodies span counties (Santa Clara, Clayton, Fulton, Collin, San Bernardino, Cuyahoga, Monroe), cities (Alexandria, Madison, Waupun, Lake Geneva, Liberty Hill, Ocala, Philadelphia), regional transit and planning authorities (Atlanta Regional Commission, Ocala Marion Transportation Planning Organization), school districts (Stockton Unified, Ivy Preparatory Academy), and institutions (UT Health San Antonio, University of Texas at Dallas, County of Los Angeles Department of Health Services). Repeat procurement activity appears in county human services and corrections departments, particularly in Georgia and California. Geographic concentration is visible in California (Santa Clara, San Bernardino, Stockton), Georgia (Atlanta, Clayton, Fulton, DeKalb), Texas (San Bernardino, Madison, Liberty Hill, Ocala), Florida (Monroe, Marion), Ohio (Cuyahoga), and Mid-Atlantic and Midwest jurisdictions. The County of Santa Clara posted an RFP for healthcare transportation services (ambulatory, bariatric, gurney, wheelchair van) covering behavioral health, custody health, and hospital-to-skilled nursing transfers, with proposals due January 20, 2027. The Atlanta Regional Commission issued a Notice of Funding Availability for FTA Section 5310 transportation services for seniors and persons with disabilities across an 11-county metro area, with $687,500 in available capital funds and proposals due November 9, 2026. Jackson County Corrections solicited bids for work-release program transportation covering 60–100+ participants daily on an ITB basis, due October 29, 2026. The City of Alexandria issued an RFP for five transportation service lines including paratransit (39,500 annual ambulatory and non-ambulatory trips) and youth and senior center services, with proposals due October 15, 2026 and an estimated start of December 15, 2026. School districts and universities active in the code include Stockton Unified School District (charter transportation for field trips and athletics) and the University of Texas at Dallas (chartered motor coaches and professional chauffeured services). Pricing structures vary widely—per-mile rates dominate prisoner and long-distance transport; per-trip or hourly rates appear in paratransit and senior services; and fixed seasonal or annual fees apply to turnkey shuttle operations. Insurance minimums typically range from $1 million to $5 million in combined general and auto liability. Contract terms run one to five years with renewal options common.
