NIGP 90619: Concrete Architectural Services

NIGP 90619 Concrete Architectural Services, an Item code, encompasses design, planning, and aesthetic enhancement services for concrete structures and site installations. State and local governments procure under this code when soliciting architectural design for concrete-intensive projects—sidewalk improvements, bridge replacements, parking structures, and pedestrian infrastructure—where concrete aesthetic, durability, and integration with site context drive specification and delivery. The mix of issuing bodies includes cities, counties, and special-purpose districts; counties appear prominently as repeat buyers for infrastructure maintenance and capital improvement programs. Concrete architectural work typically bundles design services, construction documents, inspection, and contract administration into RFP or RFQ vehicles, often paired with civil or structural engineering disciplines under combined A/E solicitations.

Recent activity spans a broad geographic distribution across the South and Southwest. The City of Schertz, Texas solicited on-call concrete repair, installation, and replacement services under RFP 2026-011 (proposals due October 22, 2026), covering sidewalk, curb and gutter, and drainage work on a unit-rate basis. Spalding County, Georgia issued separate sealed bids for two 2022 TSPLOST sidewalk projects—North Hill Street and Spalding Street—each encompassing approximately 2,500 to 2,700 linear feet of new 5-foot-wide sidewalk, storm structures, LED crosswalks, concrete retaining walls, and steel pedestrian bridges, with bids due June 2, 2026. The City of Madison, Wisconsin requested bids for concrete sidewalk removal and replacement at Gay Braxton Apartments (bids due July 17, 2026), subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wages and requiring ADA-compliant slopes and control joints. Orange County, Florida solicited emergency replacement of two bridges including full structural replacement and associated concrete paving work under an ITB (estimated cost $6.2 million, bids due July 7, 2026). These solicitations show consistent demand for concrete construction and repair tied to municipal capital programs, utility infrastructure, and accessibility compliance, with response windows clustering in the spring and early summer months and unit pricing or fixed-fee structures predominating over time-and-materials arrangements.
