NIGP 95891: Transit Management Services

NIGP 95891 Transit Management Services, an Item code, encompasses on-call professional consulting, planning advisory, and operational management services that state and local transit authorities, metropolitan planning organizations, and specialized transit districts are procuring to support agency capacity, advance capital projects, and sustain day-to-day transit operations. Recent solicitations reveal a split between strategic planning work—regional transit plans, P3 and financial advisory for light rail expansion, operator assault prevention assessments, and paratransit contract evaluations—and operational staffing or technology implementation, including control center operations, fixed-route transit operations across multiple facilities, and CAD/AVL system deployment. Issuing bodies span metropolitan planning organizations (the Coastal Region MPO in Georgia), municipal transit authorities (Phoenix, Santa Monica, Manitowoc), county-level transportation agencies (Orange County, Cobb County, Broward County in Florida), and specialized transit districts (Nevada Health Authority's Medicaid brokerage); cities also issue directly (Dallas, Madison, College Park). Repeat buyers in the recent block include the Orange County Transportation Authority and the City of Phoenix, signaling sustained procurement activity at larger transit systems.

The code sees activity concentrated in Florida, Georgia, Arizona, and California, with scattered opportunities in Nevada, New Jersey, and Wisconsin. Representative recent opportunities include the Chatham County-Savannah Metropolitan Planning Commission's RFQ for on-call consulting staff augmentation to support the Coastal Region Metropolitan Planning Organization's 2027 unified planning work program (responses due October 2, 2026, and renewed November 6, 2026), which calls for expertise in non-motorized transportation planning, transit feasibility studies, and advisory committee management under an eight-month initial term; the City of Phoenix's RFP for operations control center and data collection services, requiring 24/7 staffing of dispatch facilities monitoring 400 vehicles across 48 fixed-route lines (responses due September 2, 2026, five-year term commencing July 1, 2027); the City of Dallas's solicitation for a dockless mobility data and compliance platform to enforce and report on the City's shared vehicle program (responses due October 30, 2026); and the Orange County Transportation Authority's RFP for an operator assault prevention program assessment, a 120-day engagement at a firm fixed price of $125,000 (responses due March 10, 2026, funded entirely through Federal Transit Administration Section 5307 grants). Federal transit funding (Section 5303, 5304, 5307, and 5311) underwrites much of the planning and oversight work in the code, while local and state capital funds, along with cooperative purchasing vehicles, drive operational contracts.
