NIGP 91103: C.i.p., Archeological/Environment Surveys

NIGP 91103 C.i.p., Archeological/Environment Surveys is an Item code under which state and local governments procure archaeological assessment, historic site evaluation, environmental surveying, and related compliance planning services tied to capital projects, facility upgrades, and infrastructure development. Recent solicitations show state agencies, county transportation departments, and university administrative services offices buying archaeological site assessments, National Register of Historic Places evaluations, management planning, and seismic compliance design services. The County of Santa Clara issued a progressive design-build RFP for seismic compliance improvements at a county facility (RMC Seismic Compliance, RFP-FAFFY27_CP26011, prequalification deadline September 16, 2026, full proposal due October 23, 2026), requiring design-build entities to prequalify before submitting proposals and to post proposal security at ten percent of estimated cost. Texas A&M University's Administrative Services Procurement Office solicited archaeological site assessment, NRHP evaluation, and management planning services at Fort Huachuca, Arizona (ITB AG-RSCH-ITB-6591, due June 16, 2026). A Georgia Department of Transportation RFP for design services on the PATH Lakewood Trail Phase I project — a paved shared use path connecting two regional trails — was subsequently cancelled. Issuing bodies include county transportation departments, state departments of transportation, county facilities and fleet departments, and university research administrative offices.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest, with recent solicitations in Georgia, Arizona, and California. The Texas A&M procurement represents university-affiliated research infrastructure; the Santa Clara County and Georgia Department of Transportation opportunities reflect capital project compliance and infrastructure planning work. The code shows limited recent activity in the available source material, with only two active opportunities and one cancellation in the past four months.
