NIGP 95822: Child Care Center Management and Operation Services

NIGP 95822 Child Care Center Management And Operation Services (Item) covers childcare and preschool programs operated directly by or under contract to state and local governments, ranging from before-and-after school care and early childhood services to specialized care for children of parents in substance-use treatment or experiencing homelessness. State and local bodies soliciting under this code include county health systems, city recreation departments, school districts, county behavioral health and human services agencies, and special-purpose districts. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies purchasing childcare and preschool services bundled with program operations, staffing, facility management, and compliance documentation; the work spans congregate meal programs, evidence-based early childhood curricula, emergency preparedness, and coordination with schools, probation, and child welfare partners. Scope diverges significantly by use case: Santa Clara County Health System's facility-based childcare for hospital employees differs materially from Washington County, Oregon's specialized care for children whose parents are in treatment, and from Dallas's CDBG-funded services targeting children experiencing homelessness and special needs.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Oregon, Georgia, California, Virginia, Texas, and Pennsylvania. Representative opportunities include Fulton County Schools' before-and-after school care RFP (response due October 20, 2026); Santa Clara County Health System's childcare and preschool services contract for the medical center campus, with an RFP closing August 19, 2026; Washington County, Oregon's substance-use-treatment childcare program (RFP due October 9, 2026); the City of Alexandria, Virginia's senior center and congregate meal program RFP 2010 (closing August 3, 2026), which requires staffing with Social Work or Gerontology credentials and includes a five-year potential term with CPI-indexed renewal pricing; and Montgomery County, Pennsylvania's Truancy Diversion Program - Tier 2 (RFP 26-24, due May 20, 2026, tentative funding $1,394,815 for 476 youth served). The City of Savannah solicited nationally certified Child Development Associate trainers (RFQ June 9, 2026). Most issuing bodies accept single or multiple awards; several require vendor compliance with state licensing, HIPAA, ADA, and child abuse recognition training, and some reference local, small, or disadvantaged business certification.
