NIGP 90682: Solid Wastes; Disposal Systems - Architectural Services

NIGP 90682 Solid Wastes; Disposal Systems - Architectural Services, an Item code, encompasses design, planning, and engineering consulting services that state and local governments procure to support solid waste facilities, landfill operations, waste-to-energy systems, and related infrastructure projects. Recent solicitations reflect demand for facility master planning, waste diversion program design, rate justification analysis, architectural retrofit services for waste infrastructure, and continuing consulting support for complex waste management systems rather than the historical focus on facility architecture alone.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing work under this code include county departments of public works and environmental services, city engineering departments, solid waste authorities, and environmental programs divisions across county and municipal jurisdictions. The County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works, Pinellas County, Hillsborough County, the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County, the City of Atlanta, Clay County, and Pinellas County have each solicited multiple times in recent months, indicating sustained demand from large counties managing waste-to-energy operations and landfill systems. Georgia, Florida, Texas, Arizona, and California jurisdictions show the most concentrated recent activity. Representative recent opportunities include the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County's RFEI 27-501 (November 18, 2026 deadline) seeking a single prime entity for demolition, design, build, operate, and maintain services for a new mass-burn waste-to-energy facility processing up to 2,550 tons per day; Hillsborough County's RPS2600274 (July 24, 2026 deadline) requesting professional engineering and technical services for waste-to-energy and solid waste systems under a five-year, $6 million term contract; Pinellas County's RFQ 260406REQ (April 23, 2026 deadline) for continuing professional engineering services for the Pinellas County Waste to Energy Facility on an assignment-by-assignment basis; and the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works' on-call RFP BRC0000659 (September 16, 2026 deadline) for technical and environmental services supporting solid waste facilities and planning throughout the county. Smaller municipalities also participate—the City of Arlington's RFP 26-0233 (May 28, 2026 deadline) sought rate justification assessment consulting for solid waste cost-of-services analysis. Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction; Hillsborough County offers SBE bonus points at 5 percent of maximum evaluation criteria points for 10 percent or greater SBE participation, and Pinellas County mandates 10 percent financial commitment to certified small business enterprise subconsultants on work assignments valued at $50,000 or greater unless the prime holds SBE certification.
