NIGP 99342: Travel-In, Mileage

NIGP 99342 Travel-In, Mileage is an Item code covering reimbursement for mileage and travel expenses that state and local governments embed in service contracts where field work or multi-site operations require employee or contractor vehicle use. The code does not represent a standalone procurement category but rather a cost component within broader personal-services, testing, recruiting, and operational contracts where mileage allowance and travel reimbursement are specified line items in pricing schedules or monthly invoicing. The Commonwealth of Kentucky Department of Military Affairs and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts are among recent issuing bodies incorporating mileage reimbursement into formal bid specifications; the scope ranges from recruiting coordinators traveling across regional Kentucky counties to laboratory-collection networks managing mobile specimen collection with mileage pricing and after-hours travel fees as discrete cost elements.

Recent activity under this code appears sparse in terms of standalone mileage solicitations. The two Kentucky RFPs for recruiting coordinators (RFP09526000000061 and RFP09526000000051, both posted May 8, 2026, due May 22, 2026) specify monthly invoicing requirements documenting miles traveled and monthly reimbursement for authorized travel expenses as part of the contractor compensation structure; neither establishes a separate procurement for mileage services but rather incorporates mileage allowance as a cost line within the personal-services contract. The Texas statewide drug and alcohol testing solicitation (304T26952M1, posted April 15, 2026) includes mobile collection and mileage as a discrete 143-line pricing component in a multi-vendor, multi-state testing service contract running through February 28, 2027 with renewal options. Activity concentrates in Kentucky and Texas; no other jurisdictions appear in the recent-opportunities block. Mileage procurement under this code operates primarily as a subordinate cost element within broader service contracts rather than as a standalone category attracting independent RFPs or RFQs.
