NIGP 99367: Travel-Out, Public Transportation, Auto Rental

NIGP 99367 Travel-Out, Public Transportation, Auto Rental, an Item code, encompasses charter bus services for student field trips, athletic events, academic competitions, and summer programs, as well as on-airport rental car concession operations. State and local governments buy transportation capacity under this code through a mix of school districts and municipal airport authorities. Bibb County Public Schools and the City of Tallahassee are current active buyers. School districts soliciting charter bus services require vendors to maintain substantial liability insurance, employ drivers with passenger-endorsement CDLs, comply with background-check and drug-screening protocols, and furnish ADA-compliant vehicles in multiple passenger capacities (25 to 56 seats). Pricing structures for bus services typically break down by vehicle type, trip duration (hourly for trips under five hours, daily or overnight rates thereafter), mileage, and auxiliary charges, with all-inclusive pricing required to cover fuel, tolls, driver meals, and background checks. Airport concession opportunities involve fleet management and customer-service operations within terminal facilities under formal concession agreements with municipal authorities.

Recent activity centers on Georgia, where Bibb County Public Schools released two charter bus solicitations in August 2026 with response dates of September 7 and September 15, 2026, respectively. The September 7 solicitation (PE61110NONST2027000000112, RFP) specifies transportation for approximately 21,000 students, encompasses in-state and out-of-state routes, requires pricing submission via EUNA/BONFIRE, and carries a one-year term with three renewal options and questions due August 31, 2026. The September 15 solicitation (27001CHARTERBUSSERVICES, IFB) covers districtwide services for the 2026-2027 school year with a one-year renewal option. The City of Tallahassee issued an on-airport rental car concession re-bid (RFP08926RR) with a September 2, 2026 response deadline. No incumbent vendors, estimated contract values, or detailed evaluation criteria are identified in the available materials for any of these opportunities.
