NIGP 95857: Housekeeping Management Services

NIGP 95857 Housekeeping Management Services is an Item code under which state and local governments procure executive recruitment and search services for filling senior leadership positions. The City of College Park, Georgia, issued RFP 26-37 in January 2026 to solicit executive search firms for a comprehensive nationwide City Manager recruitment process, reflecting the scope of work state and local bodies actually buy under this code: candidate identification and vetting, community engagement, interview coordination, background checks, travel logistics, and hiring support through selection and onboarding. Issuing bodies under this code include municipalities of varying size; College Park's solicitation suggests cities are active buyers seeking firms with demonstrated expertise in municipal government leadership recruitment and the ability to manage nationwide candidate sourcing.

The source identifies activity in Georgia as of early 2026. The City of College Park's RFP 26-37, due February 18, 2026, evaluates proposals on a 100-point scale spanning responsiveness to RFP provisions, proposal thoroughness, prior successful recruitments, qualifications of assigned personnel, schedule and availability, references, and cost of services. The RFP included a non-mandatory pre-bid conference on February 4, 2026, via Microsoft Teams, and a question-and-clarification deadline of February 6, 2026. Proposers must disclose how they would handle unsuccessful recruitments or candidate dismissal or resignation within two years of appointment and submit sealed budget proposals with total not-to-exceed costs including all fees and reimbursable items. The successful bidder must provide performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract amount and maintain Comprehensive General Liability Insurance with a minimum limit of $1,000,000 prior to contract execution. Award determinations are expected within 90 days of bid opening. The City encourages minority-owned and small businesses to apply, though no specific set-asides are designated.
