NIGP 97255: Training, Non-State Employees

NIGP 97255 Training, Non-State Employees is an Item code that encompasses specialized training delivery for public-sector workforces and emergency personnel, ranging from law enforcement and fire department promotional assessment to workforce skill development and maternal-child health program administration. State and local governments solicit this code through a mix of sole-source notices for niche technical training (digital forensics, hostage rescue), competitive RFPs and RFOs for large-scale training program management and delivery, and RFQs for operational training services. The issuing bodies include municipal fire and police departments, county emergency services, state health and human services departments, workforce development boards, and regional commissions. Recent activity shows municipal police and fire departments procuring specialized single-course instruction (hostage rescue, digital forensics), state health departments seeking comprehensive training program administration for maternal and child health initiatives, and regional workforce boards contracting for incumbent worker skill development across multiple employer participants.

Recent opportunities span multiple states with notable concentration in Texas and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an RFO for Workstation Management Services training support across 55,000 agency staff statewide (response deadline July 7, 2026), while the Illinois Department of Human Services solicited competitive proposals for a Training and Support Services Contractor to deliver nutrition and maternal-child health training across five regions statewide through June 11, 2026. The City of Salem, Oregon issued a sole-source notice for a two-day hostage rescue training course from ZebraOperatorGroup at $8,000 (protest deadline July 8, 2026), and Seminole County Fire Department (Florida) sought an RFP for promotional assessment testing across Battalion Chief, Lieutenant, and Engineer ranks. The Atlanta Regional Commission (Georgia) solicited Incumbent Worker Training proposals with response deadline extended to March 3, 2026, and the City of Orlando issued a sole-source notice for SANS Institute digital forensics lab training by February 3, 2026. Statewide and regional health and workforce agencies dominate recent activity, while smaller municipalities use sole-source procurement for specialized tactical and technical instruction.
