NIGP 95894: Warehouse Management Services

NIGP 95894 Warehouse Management Services is an Item code covering the full spectrum of logistics operations state and local governments actually solicit — inventory management, asset tracking, climate-controlled and standard storage, material handling, transportation, and relocation services. Recent solicitations show demand for comprehensive warehouse operations spanning receiving, storage, picking, packing, and shipping functions, along with inventory control systems capable of barcoding and annual cycle counts. State and local issuing bodies pursuing these services include airports, state health and human services commissions, and municipalities. Charlotte Douglas International Airport (City of Charlotte, North Carolina) posted RFP AVIA 26-33 for logistics inventory management and facility relocation services with an August 6, 2026 response date, while the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services issued IFB HHS0016767 for climate-controlled and non-climate-controlled warehouse storage and transportation services in San Antonio with a June 8, 2026 deadline and an anticipated July 1, 2026 contract start.

Activity under the code concentrates in Texas and North Carolina based on recent opportunities. The Texas procurement spans climate-controlled facilities (minimum 10,000 square feet at 59–86 degrees Fahrenheit) and non-climate-controlled space (minimum 25,000 square feet) for medical supplies and pharmaceuticals, with historical comparable spend of $3,797,043.41 from June 2021 through July 2026 provided as guidance; bidders must meet a 26.0 percent Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) utilization goal and hold minimum insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence for general liability. The Charlotte solicitation requires five years of large-scale logistics experience, 98 percent inventory accuracy, damage rates not exceeding 1 percent, and 24-hour service request response. Both contracts carry multi-year initial terms (two years plus three one-year renewals in Charlotte; through August 31, 2027 plus up to three optional one-year renewals in Texas) with fixed or lump-sum pricing structures and mandatory performance standards including staff training, weekly status meetings, and documented escalation procedures.
