NIGP 961: Miscellaneous Services, No. 1 (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 961 Miscellaneous Services, No. 1 (Not Otherwise Classified) is a Class code capturing the broad range of specialized services state and local governments procure outside established commodity categories—including justice-involved workforce reentry support, grant administration, specialized consulting, interactive museum exhibits, water polo coaching, temporary staffing, and domain-specific technical services. County probation departments, school districts, cities, and state agencies all solicit under this code for work that spans human services, community development, technology, engineering, and operational support. The scope of work varies dramatically: Tuolumne County Probation is procuring employment services and emergency support for Proposition 47 participants; the State of Maine is seeking education policy research evaluation of its laptop program; Hillsborough County is acquiring interactive display exhibits for a veterans' memorial center; and the New Hampshire Veterans Home is recruiting temporary kitchen staffing. The code captures work where scope does not map cleanly to narrower NIGP categories, making the activities and issuing bodies exceptionally diverse.

Recent activity spans multiple states and jurisdiction types. Tuolumne County (California) has posted two concurrent RFPs for justice-involved workforce and programming services (responses due August 9, 2026); the City of Meriden (Connecticut) is soliciting website redesign with ADA compliance requirements (due August 7, 2026); San Antonio Independent School District is seeking student activities and fundraising goods and services as a continuous open solicitation; New Haven Public Schools is procuring on-call fire alarm and sprinkler inspection services (due July 22 and July 29, 2026); and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is requesting bids for STI testing laboratory services (due June 30, 2026). Maine, Massachusetts, Florida, Utah, and other states and localities have posted concurrent opportunities for court reporting transcription, paratransit operations, chronic disease planning, and master planning consulting—reflecting geographic distribution across regions and the absence of concentration in any single state or issuing-body type.
