NIGP 15553: Parking Structures

NIGP 15553 Parking Structures, an Item code, covers repair, maintenance, design, construction, and operational management of parking facilities—including garages, lots, and surface parking areas—that state and local governments procure to support municipal operations, transportation hubs, events, and public access to civic infrastructure. Recent solicitations reflect a mix of capital improvement projects (new construction and lot expansion), design-build and professional services engagements, routine maintenance contracts, and operational services ranging from full-facility management to event staffing. The City of Bradenton solicited full-service repair and maintenance for two municipal parking garages under RFP 26024MK (due June 25, 2026), while Broward County issued a pre-solicitation notice for architectural and engineering design services on a multi-level cruise terminal parking garage at Port Everglades under draft RFP PNC2131603P1 (due June 1, 2026), subject to Florida's Consultants' Competitive Negotiations Act with a 25 percent County Business Enterprise participation goal. Issuing bodies span cities, counties, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts; the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority procured design-build services through RFSQ 26-327 for approximately 2,725 parking spaces across four lots at Orlando International Airport (due April 21, 2026), requiring $5 million minimum prior project experience and an estimated $24.084 million budget with 8 percent combined Local Developing Business and Veteran Business Enterprise participation targets. Cities including Winter Park, Ocala, Plant City, and Stone Mountain solicited lot improvements, pavement work, and site development under IFB and ITB notices. Activity concentrates in Florida (multiple city and county solicitations across central and south regions, plus Walton County on the Panhandle and FKEC in the Keys) and Georgia (Gwinnett County and Stone Mountain), with secondary activity in Michigan (City of Detroit) and Texas (Galveston County). The City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement issued two separate RFQs for month-to-month parking space provision for the Elections Department—RFQ 543668 (due March 19, 2026) and RFQ 543661 (due March 13, 2026)—seeking 10–15 spaces and 80–100 spaces respectively within one block of 2978 W Grand Blvd, with Detroit-based business equalization credits of 1–5 percent available. The City of Orlando solicited comprehensive event parking management and staffing services through RFP 26-0346 (due May 6, 2026) for the Kia Center and Camping World Stadium, requiring five years in business and a $15.00 per hour minimum living wage. Opportunities span design, construction, repair, maintenance, operations, and staffing, with federal funding (CDBG, FEMA) present in select procurements and Florida Consultants' Competitive Negotiations Act governance applicable to professional services.
