NIGP 962: Miscellaneous Services, No. 2 (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 962 Miscellaneous Services, No. 2 (Not Otherwise Classified) is a Class code that captures a broad set of specialized services state and local agencies procure when established commodity and service categories do not fit—ranging from event management and surveying examination administration to peer health assistance, workforce development, and child care market analysis. Recent solicitations show this class absorbing everything from Boston's 2026 Copley Square Holiday Tree Market management through Massachusetts traffic safety media campaigns to Colorado's peer physician health programs and Delaware's child care cost-of-care analysis, reflecting the catch-all nature of the taxonomy.

State agencies, counties, cities, school districts, and transit authorities all solicit under this code; repeat buyers include the County of Orange Social Services Agency in California (appearing five times in recent activity with foster care, counseling, independent living, and client advocacy services), various Massachusetts state departments (mental health, aging services, public safety), and Colorado state agencies (health care policy, regulatory bodies, utilities). The geographic mix spans Massachusetts, Colorado, California, Delaware, Connecticut, Arizona, Florida, Utah, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina, with notable activity across the Northeast and Southwest. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Boston Parks and Recreation Department's RFP for the 2026 Copley Square Holiday Tree Market (responses due November 3, 2026); Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security's RFQ for a statewide traffic safety media campaign funded with approximately $500,000 in federal highway safety funds (responses due November 13, 2026); Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies' RFP for physician peer health assistance services (proposals due October 28, 2026, compensation structured around licensure renewal fees); and Delaware Department of Social Services' RFP for a local child care market rate survey and cost-of-care analysis (proposals due November 20, 2026). The Commonwealth of Kentucky's Finance and Administration Cabinet is seeking a Contact Center as a Service platform and operations with proposals due January 8, 2027—a $3,500-concurrent-user complex cloud and staffing engagement spanning voice, email, chat, and social media channels. Activity is steady and geographically distributed, with no single jurisdiction dominating the code's procurement envelope.
