NIGP 95888: Supply Chain Management Services

NIGP 95888 Supply Chain Management Services, an Item code, covers logistics, inventory management, and procurement optimization services that state and local governments buy to operate warehouses, manage material stock, track equipment deployment, and handle vendor sourcing and supply-chain analysis. Buying bodies under this code span universities, airport authorities, state departments, transit agencies, and health and human services commissions. Recent solicitations show demand for warehouse operations support (inventory tracking, MRO material procurement, picking and packing), commercial consulting for revenue optimization at public facilities (airline agreements, concession management, ground transportation services), and specialized supply-chain analytics for emergency equipment and fleet parts. The University of Central Florida sought a warehouse operations partner to manage a 35,000-square-foot MRO stock room with one-hour delivery requirements for in-stock items and integrated work-management reporting; the County of Orange's John Wayne Airport issued an RFP for a five-year on-call consulting contract across nine commercial and financial advisory categories including concession consulting and real estate evaluation; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission sought a contractor to provide climate-controlled warehouse storage, tracking, and white-glove deployment services for durable medical equipment across up to 75,000 square feet in the Austin area.

Activity concentrates in California, Florida, Texas, Illinois, and Utah, with state departments, county agencies, and higher-education institutions as repeat buyers.
