NIGP 90625: Design Build Services

NIGP 90625 Design Build Services, an Item code, encompasses the full-cycle delivery of design and construction work under a single contract, often structured with concurrent design and construction phases and frequently including guaranteed maximum pricing. State and local governments are procuring these services across a wide range of infrastructure, facilities, and operations projects—from wastewater treatment facility hardening and airport terminal expansion to fire stations, parking facilities, gymnasiums, mixed-use development, and municipal office renovations. Issuing bodies include counties (Sacramento, Collier, Forsyth, Seminole, Pasco, Harrison, White, Okaloosa), cities (Daytona Beach, Orlando, Union City, Charlotte, Bradenton, McDonough, New London, Suwanee, Nicholls, Pembroke Pines, Perry, Bend), state departments and authorities (Georgia GDOT via GSFIC, Oregon Military Department, Oregon Parks and Recreation Commission, West Basin Municipal Water District), airport authorities (Sacramento and Greater Orlando Aviation Authority), universities (Georgia Tech, University of Mississippi), transit agencies (MARTA), water utilities, and special districts. The activity reflects robust procurement across the South and West, with notable concentration in Georgia, Florida, and the Pacific Northwest.
