NIGP 99338: Travel-In, Lodging

NIGP 99338 Travel-In, Lodging is an Item code under which state and local governments procure lodging accommodations for employees, contractors, and authorized users during both routine and emergency operations. The code encompasses emergency-response housing (such as FEMA-compliant rooms during hurricanes and disasters) and concession-based lodging operations at public recreational facilities. Issuing bodies under this code include utility authorities, county parks and recreation departments, and other municipal enterprises managing public facilities or emergency-response functions. The work involves room provisioning with specific occupancy configurations, identity verification protocols, daily documentation and reconciliation with the issuing body, and compliance with federal prevailing-wage and equal-employment requirements when federal disaster funding is involved.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Florida, with the Utility Board of the City of Key West (operating as Keys Energy Services) issuing an RFP in October 2026 for local lodging during emergency situations, seeking multiple-award contracts with proposals due March 20, 2026, and Sarasota County issuing an RFP in May 2026 for glamping concession services at Turtle Beach Campground with proposals due June 29, 2026. The Key West solicitation requires vendors to specify double-occupancy room rates, hold commercial general liability insurance of $2,000,000 naming the Utility Board as additional insured, and comply with Davis-Bacon prevailing-wage standards; the contract term runs three years with two optional one-year renewals and is eligible for FEMA reimbursement. The Sarasota County opportunity targets five-year concession contracts with renewal options and welcomes local, regional, and national operators. No specific budget ranges or incumbent vendors are disclosed in either solicitation.
