NIGP 95872: Parking Management Services (incl. Operations, Admissions, and Supervision)

NIGP 95872 Parking Management Services (Incl. Operations, Admissions, And Supervision), an Item code, encompasses day-to-day operations, staffing, revenue collection, customer service, technology deployment, and compliance reporting across municipal, county, airport, and institutional parking facilities. State and local governments procure under this code when outsourcing management of parking decks, on-street parking systems, surface lots, facility enforcement, and integrated parking technology—from manual valet operations to cloud-based access and revenue control systems (PARCS) with License Plate Recognition, occupancy sensors, dynamic signage, and real-time data analytics. The issuing-body mix spans city transportation departments, county authorities, airport operators, special-purpose districts (Sourcewell), municipal redevelopment agencies, and healthcare providers, with repeat activity from Georgia jurisdictions (Athens-Clarke County, City of Augusta, City of Roswell, Georgia World Congress Center Authority) and Florida airport and municipal authorities. Scope varies widely: comprehensive full-service garage and lot management; on-street parking and curb-space enforcement with citations; valet services at medical centers and entertainment venues; parking guidance systems with sensors and digital wayfinding; technology-only procurements for PARCS replacement; and parking data analytics consulting. Contract terms typically run three to five years with renewal options.
