NIGP 90602: Acoustics; Noise Abatement - Architectural Services

NIGP 90602 Acoustics; Noise Abatement — Architectural Services, an Item code, does not align with the work state and local governments are actually procuring under this taxonomy. The recent opportunities posted in this code include logo design and branding services, airport terminal and parking facility design, seismic retrofit and library renovation project management, facility assessments and master planning, gymnasium replacement engineering following hurricane damage, irrigation system maintenance, building plan review and inspection, and commissioning authority services on new construction. These solicitations span architectural and engineering (A/E) design, preconstruction and construction administration, specialty consulting (commissioning, plan review), and facility condition assessment—none of which are centered on acoustics or noise abatement as the NIGP name suggests. State and local buyers using this code are pursuing full-service A/E consulting for infrastructure projects, municipal facility improvements, airport development, emergency recovery work, and building compliance oversight.

Issuing bodies include cities (Hampton, Santa Fe, Union City, Madison, Pasadena, Dallas, Nicholls), counties (Athens-Clarke County), consolidated city-county governments (Columbus), and special-purpose districts (Montgomery Central Appraisal District). Cities appear most frequently as repeat buyers; Santa Fe Regional Airport and Athens-Ben Epps Airport solicited multiple design-phase procurements within the review period. Recent activity concentrates in Georgia (Athens-Clarke County, Union City, Nicholls), New Mexico (Santa Fe), California (Pasadena), Wisconsin (Madison), and Texas (Dallas, Columbus, Montgomery), with opportunities ranging from design-assist services on $123.4 million seismic retrofit projects to condition assessments and smaller specialized consulting.
