NIGP 97247: Regulatory Services

NIGP 97247 Regulatory Services is an Item code encompassing advisory, audit, and compliance support services that state and local agencies use to meet statutory and regulatory reporting obligations across health care, transportation, housing, and land use domains. Recent state and local solicitations show governments buying regulatory survey and audit services, entitlement and land use compliance consulting, health care outcome measurement and quality assurance, and technical editing and documentation support for regulatory policy documents. Issuing bodies span county health systems (San Mateo County Medical Center), regional transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority), county health plans (Santa Clara County Valley Health Plan), and state housing departments (Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs). Work typically requires specialized expertise in the specific regulatory regime—DMHC reporting, CEQA compliance, LIHTC rules, health care quality standards—and prior direct experience in that domain; proposers must often demonstrate five years or more of similar work and hold relevant professional credentials or certifications.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Texas. The County of San Mateo posted an RFP for an Outpatient Rehabilitation Outcome Measure service in October 2026 (due October 7, 2026, with a mandatory pre-proposal meeting September 15, 2026), requiring EPIC integration, multilingual survey capability, and three-year contract performance at San Mateo Medical Center; the Orange County Transportation Authority released an RFP for land use and entitlement process support in August 2026 (due August 24, 2026) budgeted at $75,000 over twenty-four months with expertise required in California Surplus Land Act and CEQA compliance; Santa Clara County posted an RFP for Timely Access Compliance survey vendors in August 2026 (due September 10, 2026) with an initial three-year term and two-year renewal option; and the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs solicited copy editing services for Qualified Allocation Plan documents through an RFP due March 27, 2026, requiring mandatory affordable housing program experience and subject to a 26 percent VetHUB subcontracting goal. Local business preferences and set-asides (San Mateo County local-vendor scoring, Texas VetHUB goal) appear in several recent RFPs.
