NIGP 30559: Maps, Engineer and Topographical

NIGP 30559 Maps, Engineer And Topographical, an Item code, encompasses GIS mapping services, cartographic design, topographic and boundary surveys, and related spatial data work that state and local governments use to manage infrastructure, parks, planning initiatives, and municipal operations. Recent solicitations show jurisdictions procuring comprehensive GIS maintenance and database management (including ArcGIS platform support and utility-network mapping), professional cartographic design for trail systems and public lands, boundary and topographic surveys for parks and facilities, and spatial-analysis support for planning and economic development. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipalities (Town of Farragut, Tennessee; City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation; City of Union City, Georgia; City of New London), counties (Newton County, Georgia; Williamson County, Texas), and state higher-education systems (Texas State University System). Work spans from specialized point-services—boundary surveys at discrete parks—to multi-year professional relationships providing ongoing GIS platform administration, custom mapping, and technical assistance to multiple municipal departments.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Southwest, with posted opportunities in Tennessee, Arizona, Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include the Town of Farragut's RFP for comprehensive GIS services (due April 7, 2026), covering ArcGIS platform maintenance, infrastructure mapping, database management, and custom search functionality across five municipal departments; the City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department's RFP for cartographic services covering over 41,000 acres of mountain preserves and 200 miles of trails (due October 23, 2026, with DBE-Neutral small-business participation requirements under 49 CFR Part 26); Newton County, Georgia's request for topographical and boundary survey services at three parks (due September 30, 2026); and the Texas State University System's RFQ for indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity professional land surveying services statewide (due July 14, 2026, with a $500,000 aggregate contract ceiling and three-year initial term). Pre-bid and pre-proposal meetings are common; professional liability insurance, E-Verify compliance, and statutory certifications are routinely required. Initial contract terms typically range from two to three years with optional renewals.
