NIGP 90740: Engineering Services, Non-Licensed (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 90740 Engineering Services, Non-Licensed (Not Otherwise Classified), Item code, encompasses professional engineering and technical consulting work that falls outside traditional licensed-engineer design and does not fit higher-priority NIGP categories—including construction inspection, materials testing, project management augmentation, owner's representation, planning studies, feasibility analysis, and program management support. State and local governments use this code to procure specialized engineering services that complement or supplement core design work: the Harris County Toll Road Authority recently solicited system-wide roadway, bridge, and facility inspection and condition assessments with multiple awards anticipated by August 2026; the Georgia Department of Transportation solicited Construction Engineering and Inspection for SR 316 intersection improvements under RFQ, due August 2026; Henry County, Georgia issued an RFP for a freight cluster plan spanning 18 months and due July 2026; and the City of Tucson contracted for construction surveillance and materials sampling for transportation projects, with the Great Lakes Water Authority seeking project management and inspection staff augmentation in Michigan. Issuing bodies span state departments of transportation, county commissions, city public-works and utilities departments, transit authorities, university systems, and regional water and special-purpose districts. A mix of counties—particularly in Georgia and Florida—post frequently under this code, alongside major metropolitan transit authorities and state-level procurement offices.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (GDOT and multiple county RFQs and RFPs), Florida (Collier County, Broward County, City of Tucson and City of Orlando), and Texas (San Antonio River Authority, State Energy Conservation Office). Recent opportunities span infrastructure inspection (roadway, bridge, stormwater), construction administration and CEI services, planning and feasibility studies (corridor improvements, freight planning, water planning), staff augmentation (project managers, construction inspectors, resident project representatives), owner's representation services, and programmatic monitoring. Contract structures include indefinite delivery indefinite quantity agreements, fixed-fee and cost-plus arrangements, and as-needed task-order vehicles. Recent examples include the Georgia Department of Transportation's government estimator statewide contracts and its I-75 South Express Lanes General Engineering and Owner's Verification services, both with August 2026 response dates; the University System of Georgia's multiple design professional services RFQs for academic facility renovations due July-August 2026; and specialized monitoring for federal Inflation Reduction Act programs (Texas State Energy Conservation Office, proposals due May 2026). Prevailing-wage compliance, federal Buy America/Build America requirements, Section 3 compliance, and local/regional prequalification registries appear frequently across solicitations in this code.
