NIGP 91116: C.i.p., Construction/Rehabilitation, Buildings

NIGP 91116 — C.i.p., Construction/Rehabilitation, Buildings is an Item code encompassing design and construction services for building renovation, expansion, and modernization projects that state and local governments currently solicit across a wide range of facility types and delivery methods. State and local procurement activity under this code spans construction management at-risk (CMAR) services for higher education facility renovations and expansions, full design-build projects for public infrastructure, traditional invitation-to-bid work for community facilities and municipal buildings, and specialized renovation scopes for historic properties and occupied operational facilities. Issuing bodies include state university systems and financing commissions (Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission, Board of Regents institutions), county departments (Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources, Glynn County Parks and Recreation), city and town governments (Bradenton, Temple, Palm Beach, Tarpon Springs, Ocala), school districts (DeKalb County School District, Worth County School District, Bibb County Public Schools), special authorities (Canaveral Port Authority), and regional transit and recreation agencies. Repeat buyers include the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission and its partner universities, which issued multiple CMAR solicitations for projects in the $6.6 million to $163.7 million range throughout the period covered by recent opportunities.

Recent opportunities show heavy concentration in the Southeast, particularly Georgia, where university renovation and technical college campus expansion projects dominate, and Florida, where municipalities are sourcing building renovations, facility upgrades, and site improvements. Georgia examples include the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission's TCSG-441 Gwinnett Technical College North Fulton Campus Expansion (RFQ, $28.7 million preliminary SCL, qualifications due October 29, 2026), and multiple university projects at Georgia Institute of Technology, Kennesaw State University, and Columbus State University through the Board of Regents CMAR pipeline. Florida projects include Orange County Convention Center's chilled water system design-build upgrade (RFP Y26-805-RC, $77.1 million estimated, due October 15, 2026), the Hillsborough County Parks Department's Southshore Sports Complex Phase 2 (IFB, $12.65 million base bid, due August 11, 2026), and the Town of Palm Beach fire station renovation (ITB, due October 13, 2026). Broader activity spans Connecticut (animal shelter renovation in New Haven with 25% MBE/WBE participation goal), Texas (McKinney Fire Department CMAR, Temple Fire Station No. 4 renovation), Arizona (Pinal County residential rehabilitation JOC vehicle), Michigan (CDBG-funded single-family home rehabilitations), and Illinois (Tarpon Springs historic roof replacement). Procurement vehicles include RFP, RFQ, IFB, ITB, and CMAR agreements; prevailing wage requirements are common in Connecticut and Texas projects; and state-level set-asides and preferences (Georgia Peach certification, MBE/WBE encouragement, small business participation goals) appear in Georgia university projects and Florida public-works solicitations. Activity remains steady across Q3 2026 with no signals of significant retrenchment.
