NIGP 95892: Travel Management Services

NIGP 95892 Travel Management Services is an Item code under which state and local governments procure transportation and logistics coordination for employee programs, student and athletic team travel, and institutional mobility services. The scope spans motorcoach and charter bus services, athletic air charter flights, campus and employee shuttle operations, vanpool administration, and destination package coordination for institutional travel. Issuing bodies include school districts, universities, county transportation authorities, convention and visitors bureaus, and municipal transit divisions. Pinellas County School District (Florida) issued an IFB for Travel Management Services (26HO028, due July 9, 2026) as a sealed electronic bid, while Monroe County, Florida procured paratransit and demand-response transportation under its Social Services Transportation Disadvantaged Program (RFP638, due July 21, 2026) requiring 15 years of continuous experience and ADA-compliant accessible vehicles. Texas Southern University and Snow College solicited athletic air charter flights via ITB (ITB #717-26-756 due June 18, 2026) and IFB rebid (SNOC25261070 due May 28, 2026) respectively. The Howard County Board of Education, Maryland, requested bids for school bus transportation to athletic events at two high schools (IFB #118.26.B1, due June 29, 2026), while Pinal County Air Quality Control District issued an RFP for vanpool operations and management covering vehicle leasing, rider management, and centralized billing with estimated annual subsidy of approximately $72,799 (due June 24, 2026). Frederick Community College and Western Carolina University separately solicited transportation services for college events and athletic team travel via RFP mechanisms.

Activity under this code concentrates in Florida, California, Texas, Utah, Georgia, Maryland, and Missouri. Recent opportunities reflect strong demand from higher-education athletic programs for charter air and motorcoach services; K-12 school districts for event-based transportation; county and municipal transit authorities for paratransit and employee vanpool programs; and convention bureaus for destination travel coordination. California State University issued a system-wide RFP for charter and shuttle bus services to all CSU campuses on a per-request basis (RFP 782, due April 3, 2026), and California State University, Pomona separately procured fully managed campus shuttle bus operations (RFP HM25004, due May 12, 2026 with mandatory pre-bid on April 9, 2026). The University of Maryland, College Park established a multi-award vendor pool for on-demand charter bus services (RFP_00023962-BM, due April 20, 2026). Solicitations range from small fixed-cost specialty services—such as Broward County's $99,900 fixed-price project specialists for Spanish-speaking travel trade marketing (due May 22, 2026) and Brazil travel trade promotion (due May 22, 2026)—to multi-year regional contracts with five-year terms and renewal options. The Georgia Department of Transportation issued an RFQ for traffic signal operations program management across three regions on an On-Call IDIQ basis (RFQ 484-070926, due July 9, 2026) with contract values up to $30 million per region. Most solicitations are RFP or RFQ; competitive pressures are evident from multiple rebids (Snow College charter flights) and cancellations (Florida State Guard buses transitioned from single-source to competitive in March 2026).
