NIGP 90644: Heating; Ventilating; Air Conditioning - Architectural Services

NIGP 90644 Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning - Architectural Services is an Item code under which state and local governments procure design, engineering, and construction administration for HVAC system replacements, renovations, and upgrades, often bundled within broader terminal, facility, or building renovation projects. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state universities and university systems, county facilities and utilities departments, city airports and transit authorities, municipalities, and community colleges, with repeat activity from Texas A&M University System, Pinellas County Florida, City of Santa Fe New Mexico, and Georgia state entities. Recent solicitations show a mix of RFQ and RFP notice types targeting qualification-based selection, with work including HVAC modernization at medical sciences buildings, airport terminal MEP overhauls, utility operations centers, library seismic retrofits with mechanical upgrades, state office building restroom and breakroom renovations, and aquatic facility mechanical design—all reflecting aging infrastructure needing systems replacement to support laboratory safety, energy efficiency, emergency operations resilience, or ADA compliance.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Pinellas County, Escambia County, Melbourne Airport Authority, City of Fort Myers), Texas (Texas A&M campuses, Paris Junior College, City of Dallas, Lower Colorado River Authority), New Mexico (City of Santa Fe), and Georgia (Technical College System, City of Atlanta, City of Nicholls, City of College Park, Beaufort County), with additional projects in California, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas A&M University System requesting qualifications for Reynolds Medical Sciences Building Level 2 HVAC Upgrade in College Station (RFQ due August 4, 2026, estimated construction cost $10,365,753 of a $12.7 million planning amount); the City of Santa Fe soliciting A&E services for Regional Airport Terminal Expansion including HVAC and ventilation systems (RFP FY26RFP035, proposals due December 17, 2025, with site visit November 14, 2025 and pre-proposal meeting November 18, 2025); the Technical College System of Georgia procuring design services for approximately 70 Major Rehabilitation and Renovation projects across 22 campuses, including $27 million allocated for mechanical engineering-MEP HVAC work (RFQ due April 20, 2026); and the City of McDonough requesting Design-Build services for phased City Hall renovation spanning HVAC, electrical, and mechanical systems (RFP due August 14, 2026 with mandatory pre-proposal site visit July 23, 2026). Procurement activity shows strong emphasis on qualifications-based selection under design-bid-build and CMAR delivery models, with federal funding (FAA grants, FEMA PA, CDBG-DR, Hazard Mitigation Grant Program) and state appropriations driving scope and compliance requirements including prevailing wage, DBE participation goals, and federal labor standards.
