NIGP 96763: Production Planning and Control

NIGP 96763 Production Planning And Control, an Item code, encompasses planning, scheduling, and management services for complex projects and events across state and local government. State and local buyers under this code procure event production and design services, construction project management (including site due diligence, design support, procurement planning, surveillance, program management, and administrative services), and related coordination work that does not include physical construction itself. Issuing bodies span higher-education institutions, state purchasing divisions offering cooperative purchasing vehicles, K-12 school districts, cities, counties, and service districts. The code sees activity from both single-jurisdiction procurements and statewide cooperative-purchasing frameworks that open access to multiple political subdivisions, nonprofit organizations, and federal agencies.

Recent opportunities reflect geographic spread across the West and Southwest. The State of Utah Division of Purchasing issued RFP SB266 on July 16, 2026, for construction project management services with proposals due August 20, 2026; the contract is structured as a five-year cooperative purchasing vehicle with an administrative fee of 0.75 percent, and historical usage data from 2020–2025 shows $6.47 million in purchases, with K-12 schools representing 55.5 percent of demand, followed by cities (19 percent), service districts (17 percent), counties (6 percent), and state agencies (3.5 percent). The University of Texas at Austin issued RFP 72127001 on September 4, 2026, for an event producer-designer role with proposals due September 21, 2026. Both opportunities required technical scoring thresholds; Utah's construction management RFP allocated 700 points to technical criteria and 300 to cost, with vendors needing to score at least 455 technical points (65 percent) to advance to cost evaluation and a combined minimum of 650 of 1,000 points for award.
