NIGP 90612: Building Sanitation - Architectural Services

NIGP 90612 Building Sanitation—Architectural Services, an Item code, encompasses professional design, planning, project management, and construction administration services that state and local governments procure for facility development, renovation, rehabilitation, and infrastructure projects. The recent activity under this code reflects a diverse range of facility types: new school construction, library seismic retrofits, transit operations centers, emergency operations facilities, medical examiner's offices, gymnasium replacements following disaster recovery, low-barrier shelters, drainage infrastructure, airport improvements, and terminal mechanical-electrical-plumbing system upgrades. Work is solicited through RFP, RFQ, and RFQ/P (request for proposals/qualifications hybrid) notices, with compensation structured variously as lump sum, hourly-fee basis, fixed-fee arrangements, and negotiated rates following shortlisting. State departments (TxDOT), county commissioners and appraisal districts, municipal planning and economic development departments, school districts, transit authorities (ECAT, LCRA), flood control districts, airport authorities, and special-purpose districts (Claratel Behavioral Health) all actively solicit under this code. Firms compete across continuing-services contracts (where multiple vendors are retained on task-order basis), fixed-project procurements, and pre-qualified registries that establish roster pools for future assignments.

Recent activity spans Texas (TxDOT aviation work, Harris County Flood Control District pre-qualified registry, Bryan County emergency operations center, Lower Colorado River Authority master agreement, Cameron County drainage improvements), Florida (Escambia County transit facility, City of Bradenton and Fort Myers continuing services, City of Orlando accessory dwelling unit design library, Melbourne Airport Authority terminal MEP design), Georgia (City of Nicholls gymnasium post-Hurricane Helene, White County storage building, Claratel Behavioral Health care homes, City of College Park historic preservation, Bryan County CDBG-DR emergency operations), Connecticut (City of Meriden Casimir Pulaski Elementary School new construction with $101.2 million budget and July 29, 2026 RFQ/P due date), California (City of Pasadena Central Library Seismic Retrofit and Renovations CMAR, $123.354 million Measure PL funded, with Phase 1 construction commencing August 2025), Arizona (City of Tucson Amphi Housing Resource Center adaptive reuse design-build, $2.8 million estimated cost), and California (County of Santa Clara construction project management services master agreement). Set-aside participation, where noted, includes Section 3 prevailing wage and disadvantaged worker hour requirements on federal-recovery and HUD-funded projects; some jurisdictions emphasize M/WBE and SBE goals in evaluation scoring without mandatory minimums at registry stage. Insurance requirements across recent procurements routinely demand professional liability of $1 million to $5 million per claim, with general liability ranging $1 million to $30 million per occurrence depending on project scope and federal funding sources.
