NIGP 90652: Interior Design, Space Planning, and Exhibits/Displays

NIGP 90652 Interior Design, Space Planning, and Exhibits/Displays is an Item code under which state and local governments procure design services and furnishings for holdrooms, cafeteria serving lines, office renovations, nature centers, parking facilities, educational spaces, and specialized environments such as detention facilities and animal housing. Recent solicitations show a mix of standalone design-only contracts, design-build delivery, and design paired with fabrication and installation—with scope ranging from modest office renovations under $200,000 to complex multidisciplinary projects exceeding $100 million. Issuing bodies include state agencies (Texas A&M University System, Michigan DNR, Texas General Land Office), county governments (Fulton County, Collier County, Spalding County, Pinellas County), municipal procurement offices (Orlando, Phoenix, Olathe, San Antonio, Atlanta), school districts (Centennial, Cherokee County, Hillsborough County Schools, Georgia Highlands College, Tarleton State University), transit authorities (Illinois Tollway), and special-purpose districts (San Antonio River Authority, Savannah Airport Commission). Standout repeat buyers within the recent window include the Texas A&M University System Office of Facilities Planning & Construction, which posted at least three separate A/E RFQs (Evans Library, Agricultural Sciences Building, West Campus Vivarium).

Geographic concentration spans Texas, Florida, Georgia, and the broader Southeast, with material activity in California, Oregon, Michigan, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Orlando's design-build for Grove Park Garage (880 parking spaces, $35.75 million budget, RFP26-0434, September 4, 2026 close), the Fulton County Board of Commissioners' Design Professional Services for the Special Purpose Detention Facility (1,800-bed jail, 780,000 square feet, mandatory Joint Venture requirement, August 27, 2026 close), Broward County's notice of future opportunity for Convention Center Interior and Northport Garage Renovation (25% County Business Enterprise goal, 600,000 square feet of scope, September 24, 2026 registration deadline), the Savannah Airport Commission's holdroom interior design and furnishing RFP (1,808.70 square feet, September 15, 2026 close), Methodist Children's Homes of Mississippi's trauma-informed spatial and sensory assessment and FF&E advisory (four CDBG-CV projects, October 19, 2026 close), and the Texas Department of Transportation's exhibit design and development for rest areas (November 6, 2026 close). Pricing varies widely: small municipalities and school districts issue sub-$500,000 RFPs; university and county government projects frequently range from $10 million to $135 million in total planning budgets. A subset of recent solicitations emphasize specialized design requirements—trauma-informed design for behavioral health facilities, LEED certification compliance, detention-specific security and behavioral programming, and PCEF natural-gas-elimination mandates in school mechanical replacements. Design-build and Progressive Design-Build delivery models appear with increasing frequency. MBE, WBE, DBE, VBE, HUBZone, and local small-business preferences are common across the sampled opportunities.
