NIGP 96110: Business Plan Development Services

NIGP 96110 Business Plan Development Services, an Item code, covers strategic and operational planning work that state and local governments are currently using to support major capital projects, organizational restructuring, facility master planning, and municipal development initiatives. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers procuring comprehensive business plans for emergency operations facilities, arts centers, transit systems, downtown districts, and municipal service consolidations—deliverables that typically encompass financial modeling, market analysis, stakeholder engagement, operational assessments, and implementation roadmaps. The issuing-body mix reflects activity across city governments (Dallas, Bridgeport, Sarasota, Lawrenceville, Charlotte, Lubbock), county governments (Pinellas County, Marion County, Santa Clara County), special-purpose districts (Jacksonville Transportation Authority, Forward Pinellas MPO), and healthcare organizations (Santa Clara Valley Healthcare). Cities and counties appear to be the primary drivers of solicitation volume, with repeat engagement evident in jurisdictions managing complex real estate, transit, or public-facility portfolios.

Activity clusters in Florida (Pinellas County, Sarasota, Bridgeport) and Texas (Dallas, Lubbock), with additional recent work posted from Georgia, North Carolina, Oregon, and California. The Dallas Office of Emergency Management issued RFQ BIZ2600030973 due August 7, 2026, for pre-development and development services on a new 911 Emergency Communications Center and Emergency Operations Center under a developer-agent engagement model. Pinellas County posted RFN 260375 due September 18, 2026, seeking a master developer for mixed-use downtown Clearwater parcels. The City of Sarasota issued ITN 2619RH due March 3, 2026, for an updated Downtown Master Plan emphasizing waterfront, streetscape, housing, and climate resiliency; the Lawrenceville Arts Center business plan RFP (RP004-26) closed March 20, 2026, with a five-month timeline and $35 million facility scope. Work in this code typically requires demonstrated experience in urban planning, real estate development, arts and cultural operations, or infrastructure finance, with evaluation often weighted toward methodology, team qualifications, and cost rather than DBE participation or set-asides, though some jurisdictions (notably Charlotte Douglas Airport) apply local business-inclusion program compliance.
