NIGP 91005: Building and House Leveling Services

NIGP 91005 Building and House Leveling Services, an Item code, encompasses pre-construction assessment, site preparation, foundation work, mobile home installation, and utility connections for residential replacement and rehabilitation projects funded through federal disaster recovery and community development programs. State and local governments soliciting under this code include county housing departments, municipalities, and their delegated program administrators—typically issuing bodies managing federally funded housing preservation initiatives rather than routine maintenance contracts. The scope of actual solicitations ranges from establishing pre-qualified contractor pools for phased mobile home replacement (as with Boulder County's CDBG-DR program) to administering comprehensive home rehabilitation programs delivering mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and structural repairs to low- and moderate-income homeowners (as in Dallas's Home Improvement and Preservation Program). Contractors must hold applicable state and federal licenses, maintain substantial commercial general liability and workers' compensation insurance, comply with prevailing wage and Section 3 employment requirements on federally funded work, and demonstrate experience with federal compliance, utility coordination, and subcontractor management.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Mountain West and Southeast. Boulder County, Colorado posted a Solicitation of Qualifications on July 2, 2026 (due July 27, 2026) to establish a pre-qualified pool for mobile home replacement under its CDBG-DR program, with individual projects estimated at six to nine months and evaluation on relevant experience, organizational capacity, federal compliance understanding, and commitment to resilient construction practices. The City of Dallas issued an RFP on March 19, 2026 (closed April 24, 2026) for a two-year turnkey Home Improvement and Preservation Program administrator managing $3.9 million in non-federal funding across emergency repairs, code-violation remediation, and major systems work, with stringent SBE participation requirements and Dallas Living Wage compliance. The code also captures incidental facility reconstruction work—DeKalb County's June 9, 2026 ITB for DeKalb Tennis Center reconstruction included building systems installation, though the primary scope centered on information technology infrastructure rather than structural or leveling services. Overall activity in this code reflects episodic federal grant cycles and recovery initiatives rather than continuous procurement.
