NIGP 98884: Tennis Court Management and Operations

NIGP 98884 Tennis Court Management and Operations, an Item code, encompasses facility redevelopment planning, court restoration and reconstruction, equipment and supplies procurement, and the hiring of operators and instructors to manage tennis programming and public access across city and county recreation facilities. State and local governments buy concrete services under this code: Griffin-Spalding County Schools recently solicited comprehensive restoration of twelve tennis courts at two high schools through an RFP, while DeKalb County issued an ITB for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center including a new pro shop building; the City of South Fulton pursued conversion of four clay courts to hard-surface acrylic courts with annual maintenance services; Chatham County twice solicited a vendor to operate racquet sports programming across four parks; and Donna Independent School District procured tennis equipment and supplies through a catalog-discount mechanism. Issuing bodies span school districts, municipal recreation departments, and county parks authorities. The work includes court surface restoration and resurfacing, facility capital projects, vendor selection for equipment supply, and contracted programming services that balance public court access with instruction, leagues, tournaments, and youth outreach.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with three counties (DeKalb, Chatham, South Fulton) and one school system (Griffin-Spalding) posting opportunities in the first half of 2026; the City of Tucson, Arizona posted a management RFP in 2022, and Donna ISD in Texas solicited equipment and supplies in March 2026. Griffin-Spalding County Schools issued an RFP for Tennis Court Restoration Project (response due June 11, 2026) requiring ASBA membership, five years of minimum experience, and restoration of courts to GHSA tournament standards with completion by November 20, 2026 and a five-year warranty. The City of South Fulton issued RFP 26-07 for Tennis Courts Conversions and Maintenance Services (response due April 2, 2026) covering demolition of clay courts, asphalt base and acrylic surface installation, and annual maintenance across eight facilities, though Addendum No. 2 cancelled the solicitation due to lack of bidder participation. Chatham County issued RFP 26-0019-2 for a Racquet Sport Program Operator (response due March 13, 2026) to hire a vendor providing instruction, clinics, leagues, camps, and tournaments at four parks with a one-year initial term and four optional renewals, incorporating local M/WBE participation scoring. Augusta Recreation and Parks Department solicited qualifications through RFQ #26-906 (response due August 14, 2026) for redevelopment planning and ongoing management of Vernon Forrest Park, requiring proposers to demonstrate non-municipal funding for implementation and maintenance.
