NIGP 90624: Desalinization (Process and Facilities) - Architectural

NIGP 90624 Desalinization (Process And Facilities) - Architectural is an Item code under which state and local governments solicit architectural and engineering design services for facility projects, though recent activity shows the code encompasses broader facility design, construction oversight, and project management work rather than desalinization-specific procurement. The work being solicited includes comprehensive architectural and engineering design services for building construction and renovation, construction project management and owner's representative services, plan review and inspection services for code compliance, and professional design services for specialized systems such as solar photovoltaic canopies. Issuing bodies span cities, counties, regional authorities, and special-purpose districts. The City of Meriden (Connecticut) solicited owner's project manager services for a $101.2 million elementary school construction project via RFQ, while the City of Union City (Georgia) requested plan review and inspection services. The City of Nicholls (Georgia) issued an RFQ for architectural and engineering services related to Hurricane Helene gymnasium recovery, and Collier County (Florida) established a professional services library across 17 discipline categories including architectural historic preservation and multiple engineering specialties.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with additional opportunities in Connecticut, Texas, and California. The Lower Colorado River Authority (Texas) issued an RFQ for long-term architectural services on an as-needed basis, while the County of Santa Clara (California) sought construction project management firms with HCAI medical facility experience under a master Professional Services Agreement structure capped at $5 million across a five-year term. The City of Orlando (Florida) solicited threshold inspection services for a $270 million stadium renovation project with emphasis on veteran business enterprise participation and local presence. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Meriden's RFQ/P027-07 (response due July 29, 2026) for owner's project management on a new elementary school with anticipated June 2028 construction start, and the City of Nicholls' RFQ (response due June 10, 2026) for gymnasium architectural and engineering services subject to FEMA PA Program requirements. Most solicitations use RFQ or RFS structures and establish master agreements or professional services libraries for task order placement rather than single-project awards.
