NIGP 90648: Historical Preservation

NIGP 90648 Historical Preservation, an Item code, encompasses the planning, design, construction, and consulting services state and local governments procure to restore, rehabilitate, and preserve historic buildings, districts, and cultural resources. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying construction management and hands-on restoration work (masonry repointing, roof replacement, window restoration, structural repairs), architectural and engineering services for historic rehabilitation, archaeological and cultural resource surveys and assessments, historic preservation consulting and compliance services, and space planning and preservation design guidance for historic properties. County parks departments, city procurement offices, state departments of transportation and historic preservation, regional transit authorities, and special-purpose districts (land bank authorities, county boards of commissioners) all solicit under this code at roughly equal frequency, with no standout repeat buyer.

Activity clusters in Georgia (Athens-Clarke County, Savannah, Savannah-area municipalities, McDuffie County, Douglas County, Orange County, Pulaski County), Florida (Monroe County, Plant City, Dania Beach, Hillsborough County), California (San Mateo County, Orange County, Caltrans), and Oregon (ODOT, Parks and Recreation Department), with significant outliers in Texas, Colorado, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Utah, and Mississippi. Representative recent opportunities include the County of San Mateo Parks Department's RFP for on-call construction management services for parks projects (response date March 23, 2026), the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission's RFQ for construction management at risk services on the One Arsenal Place Renovation at Columbus State University (response date August 10, 2026), the City of Albany, Georgia's sealed-bid procurement for comprehensive Ritz Theatre Renovation work subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements (response date August 11, 2026), the City of Hampton, Georgia's RFP for demolition and site clearance in a historic district with mandatory pre-site-visit attendance (response date August 7, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Transportation's statewide Cultural Resources Price Agreement RFP for on-call archaeological and architectural history consulting services across multiple regions (response date May 21, 2026). Many of these solicitations require compliance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Treatment of Historic Properties, carry local business and/or disadvantaged-business preferences, and reference historic district or National Register listing status as a governing constraint on scope and methods.
