NIGP 95891: Transit Management Services

NIGP 95891 Transit Management Services, an Item code, encompasses operational control and data management services for fixed-route and paratransit transit systems, including dispatch operations, fleet monitoring, scheduling software, staffing coordination, and FTA compliance reporting. Recent solicitations show state and local transit agencies procuring continuous operations center staffing, CAD/AVL systems integration, demand-response transportation management, and specialized planning and assessment services alongside traditional vehicle and operator contracting.

Issuing bodies span city transit departments (Phoenix, Santa Monica, Manitowoc), county transportation authorities (Orange County, Pinal County, Monroe County, Douglas County, Chatham County, Cobb County, Rockland County), regional transit agencies (Atlanta Beltline, Boulder County, Albany), state health authorities (Nevada Health Authority for Medicaid non-emergency transport), and specialized districts (Perimeter Community Improvement Districts). The mix shows significant activity from mid-size urban and regional systems alongside smaller county programs. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP PTD26-003 for operations control center and data collection services covering 400 vehicles and 21 million annual service miles, due September 3, 2026, with a five-year term and mandatory DBE-neutral small business participation; Sarasota County's IFQ for fixed route scheduling services at $150,000 annually with incumbent Transportation Management & Design, Incorporated since 2021; the County of Rockland's RFP-RC-2026-011 for full transit management and operations of 45 vehicles across 11 fixed routes, with 2024 operating expenses of $21.1 million and contract award anticipated June 2026; and the Orange County Transportation Authority's RFP 250180 for an operator assault prevention program assessment at $125,000 firm fixed price using FTA Section 5307 funds, due March 11, 2026 (noted as past-dated in source). Geographic concentration spans Florida (Phoenix, Miami-Dade via Broward, Orange County, Monroe County, Sarasota), Georgia (Atlanta, DeKalb, Fulton, Chatham, Cobb, Douglas, Albany), Colorado (Boulder), New York (Rockland), and Arizona (Pinal). Federal funding triggers (FTA Sections 5304, 5307, 5311, and ARPA appropriations) appear in most larger solicitations, driving prevailing wage, DBE, civil rights, and procurement compliance requirements across the code.
