NIGP 30518: Data Books and Tables, Engineering and Surveying

NIGP 30518 Data Books and Tables, Engineering and Surveying (Item) encompasses reference materials, design data, technical tables, and survey records that state and local governments acquire to support infrastructure projects, professional services delivery, and regulatory compliance. Based on recent state and local solicitations, this Item code captures the specialized design services, surveying work, and engineering documentation that municipalities, counties, regional authorities, and state DOT agencies commission from consultants to inform capital improvement planning, site development, permitting, and construction. Recent activity reflects a strong demand for survey data, topographic analyses, engineering design deliverables (plans, specifications, elevation certificates), network redesign documentation, and intelligence transportation systems (ITS) design packages that serve as operational blueprints for public infrastructure work.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include city and county public works and engineering departments, county flood control districts, regional transit authorities, airport authorities, and state transportation departments. The City of Santa Fe has posted multiple architect-engineer qualification solicitations for airport facility improvements; Monroe County, Florida and Harris County Flood Control District, Texas are soliciting continuing on-call professional surveying services; Orange County, Florida and the Georgia Department of Transportation are requesting design services for intelligent transportation systems projects; and the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority is soliciting dispatch network redesign assessment and documentation. Recent opportunities span New Mexico, Florida, Georgia, and Texas.
