NIGP 96342: Incentives, Rebates and Refunds

NIGP 96342 Incentives, Rebates And Refunds, an Item code, encompasses rebate administration, point-of-sale discount programs, and economic-incentive strategies that state and local governments deploy to spur consumer adoption of priority goods or services—from sustainable transportation to commercial district revitalization. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments, regional commissions, and municipalities, with Sacramento County and the Atlanta Regional Commission appearing as recent active buyers. The work typically involves identifying eligible participants or vendors, administering rebate redemptions, managing program compliance and record-keeping, and developing strategy to maximize uptake and measurable impact on targeted populations or geographic areas.

Recent activity shows Sacramento County issuing an RFP (2026GEN0073, due September 4, 2026) for an Investment and Revitalization Strategy for 15 commercial corridors in unincorporated areas, where consultants will identify market-driven redevelopment opportunities, establish investment priorities, and provide implementation frameworks—an incentive and revitalization program grounded in economic modeling and infrastructure analysis across six Property and Business Improvement Districts. Concurrently, the Atlanta Regional Commission issued an RFQ (PE29016NONST2026NONST2026000000068, due July 23, 2026) for local e-bike retailers to participate as point-of-sale rebate partners in the City of Atlanta E-Bike Rebate Program, with an anticipated budget of $960,000 covering approximately 600–800 e-bike purchases at rebate levels of $1,600, $1,100, or $550 depending on household income; participation was limited to brick-and-mortar vendors operating within Atlanta city limits with at least one year of prior business operation. Geographic activity spans California and Georgia, with program work anticipated through summer 2027.
