About NIGP 96286
NIGP 96286 Transportation Of Goods And Other Freight Services is an Item code covering demand-responsive and scheduled passenger shuttle operations, student transportation, field trip and athletic event busing, medical transport logistics, boat portage, solid waste hauling, and ancillary support services that state and local governments are actively soliciting. Recent state and local opportunities span school districts, transit authorities, county governments, and state agencies across Florida, Texas, California, Massachusetts, Maryland, Utah, and Pennsylvania, with school districts and transit authorities representing the largest share of current activity.
School districts dominate recent solicitation volume, notably McKinney Independent School District (Texas) requesting comprehensive student transportation services across 227 routes serving 23,889 students with proposals due October 16, 2026; Leominster School Department (Massachusetts) soliciting field trip and athletic event busing for 2027–2029 with bids due October 29, 2026; and Pinellas County School District (Florida) requesting towing and recovery services for school fleet vehicles. Transit authorities and county governments are equally active: the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority is establishing a $120 million multi-vendor shuttle bus operator pool for service disruptions with proposals due November 4, 2026; Charles County, Maryland is procuring VanGO Transit Operations Management covering fixed-route and paratransit services with proposals due June 18, 2026; and the County of Orange (California) is soliciting senior non-emergency medical transportation services across three service areas with proposals due October 23, 2026.

Geographic concentration is evident in Florida, Texas, California, and the Northeast corridor, with secondary activity in the Mountain West and Midwest.
