NIGP 90658: Lighting (Interior, Exterior) - Architectural Services

NIGP 90658 Lighting (Interior, Exterior) - Architectural Services, an Item code, encompasses design and specification services for architectural lighting systems across municipal infrastructure, transit facilities, public buildings, and institutional campuses. State and local governments procure under this code primarily to support comprehensive facility renovations, new construction projects, and specialty lighting applications including accent and decorative lighting, emergency and perimeter security lighting, sports and field lighting, and integrated smart-lighting control systems. The issuing bodies span city engineering departments and planning divisions, county facilities management offices, university system offices of facilities planning and construction, regional transit authorities, and independent school districts, with Texas A&M University System appearing multiple times as a major repeat buyer of design services for research and academic facilities.

Recent activity shows design-build and design-assist procurement across large infrastructure projects in Florida, Georgia, Texas, New Mexico, and Connecticut. The Texas A&M University System has solicited A/E services for lighting and electrical components within major facilities projects including the Evans Library 6th Floor Renovation (RFQ TAMUSRFQ023479, due October 13, 2026) and the VetMed Animal Housing Facility (RFQ TAMUSRFQ023478, due September 29, 2026), with planning amounts in the $17 million to $18.7 million range. The City of Orlando issued a design-build RFP (RFP26-0366, final deadline August 4, 2026) for downtown accent lighting system integration featuring programmable RGBW LED fixtures across multiple public structures and art installations, with a total project budget of $1.7 million and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements. The City of Meriden, Connecticut solicited streetlight maintenance and repair services (B027-20, due August 26, 2026) covering approximately 4,200 LED cobra-head fixtures and associated poles. Lighting design frequently appears as a component within larger renovation and new-construction A/E packages rather than as a standalone service line, and architectural lighting services currently see most active procurement in the university system sector and large municipal capital projects in the Southeast and Southwest regions.
