NIGP 96918: Judgments, Extraordinary Items

NIGP 96918 Judgments, Extraordinary Items, an Item code, covers financial obligations and extraordinary expenses that state and local governments incur outside normal operational or capital budgeting — primarily settlements of legal judgments, claims paid under insurance or indemnification agreements, and one-time extraordinary expenditures mandated by court order or regulatory action. The scope includes payments to resolve litigation, satisfy court-ordered restitution, fund emergency or disaster-related costs not covered by standard appropriations, and other non-routine financial commitments. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state departments, counties, cities, and special-purpose districts; the work typically does not involve competitive procurement in the traditional sense, as these obligations are often driven by legal outcomes or regulatory requirements rather than vendor selection.

No recent state and local contract opportunities appear in the current data for this Item code. Activity under 96918 is episodic and tied to specific legal events, regulatory determinations, or extraordinary circumstances rather than recurring or planned procurement cycles, making it difficult to characterize geographic concentration or identify representative recent solicitations.
