NIGP 20977: Real Estate/Property Management

NIGP 20977 Real Estate/Property Management, Item code, encompasses the acquisition, disposition, leasing, consulting, and operational management of real property assets held by state and local jurisdictions. State and local governments currently solicit under this code for property brokerage services, facility operations and programming, property acquisition and relocation support, development consulting, mixed-use redevelopment, and portfolio management across diverse real estate portfolios. Recent activity shows cities, counties, and transit authorities engaging qualified brokers and operators to manage sales and acquisitions of municipal property; negotiate and administer leases; provide market analysis and appraisals; and operate or program historic, commercial, and specialized facilities. The City of Orlando seeks qualified real estate consulting firms to manage its diverse portfolio including parking structures, facilities, parks, and office buildings across seven service categories (market analysis, acquisition and disposition, due diligence, tenant management, and appraisal services); Dallas Independent School District is establishing district-wide, as-needed real estate brokerage services for property acquisition, disposition, lease negotiation, and transaction management; the City of Oshkosh is procuring comprehensive property management for City Center, a 500,000-square-foot mixed-use downtown facility; and Kenosha County is soliciting operators for the Kemper Center, a historic 32,350-square-foot campus for hospitality, events, and cultural programming.

Issuing bodies span state departments, county purchasing offices, independent school districts, city procurement bureaus, and special-purpose districts. The mix includes major metropolitan areas (Dallas, Phoenix, Orlando, Atlanta, Tucson), mid-sized cities (Sarasota, Lubbock, Gainesville, Oshkosh), counties (Collin County Texas, Bernalillo County New Mexico, Pasco County Florida), and independent school districts (Dallas ISD, DeKalb County Schools). Recent opportunities cluster heavily in Texas, Florida, and the Pacific Northwest, with secondary activity in Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona, and New Mexico.
