NIGP 95870: Outsourcing Services for Management, Operation, etc. (Purchasing, etc.)

NIGP 95870 Outsourcing Services For Management, Operation, Etc. (Purchasing, Etc.), an Item code, encompasses state and local government contracting for the operation, management, and staffing of municipal departments, facilities, and programs on a third-party basis. State and local buyers under this code are outsourcing core operational functions—from building-department permitting and inspection to workforce-center management, public-works operations, facility management, and specialized technical services—when they lack internal capacity or seek vendor expertise. Recent solicitations reflect a broad mix of issuing bodies: county health departments, municipal transit and aviation authorities, city departments of parks and recreation, workforce development boards, county road departments, and state housing and transportation agencies. The Texas Department of Transportation, City of Waco, Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, and San Mateo County Health appear in the most recent activity. Scope ranges from full-service facility management (Cameron Park Zoo foodservice, retail, and ticketing operations under a ten-year RFP from the City of Waco) to specialized advisory services (San Mateo County's Community Health Improvement Plan and Community Health Assessment implementation facilitation), regulatory operations (Pembroke Pines Building Department plan review and inspection; Rockland County Workforce Development Board career center services), labor-intensive programs (San Mateo Medical Center temporary nursing and clinical staffing registry; Dallas Park & Recreation operational management of Southern Skates Roller Rink), and infrastructure management (Traffic Management Center operations for TxDOT's Central Texas Construction Partnership Program; Brooks County Road Department operations in Georgia).

Geographic activity spans California (San Mateo County Health RFP for CHIP/CHA advisory, $85,000 maximum; San Mateo Medical Center Registry Contract; San Mateo County Executive's Office Permit Entitlement Blue Ribbon Task Force facilitator), Texas (TxDOT Traffic Management Center; Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs TRACS Processing Services; Texas Department of Information Resources cooperative End-User IT Outsourcing; Concho Valley Workforce Development Board center operations at $7.99 million estimated award; Dallas Park & Recreation Southern Skates management; Columbus, Georgia irrigation services), Florida (Pembroke Pines Building Department, City of Atlanta City Plaza property management and Curbside Management Services at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport), Maryland (Prince George's County Professional Search Services), Georgia (Brooks County Road Department), and New York (Rockland County WIOA Career Center).
