NIGP 91127: C.i.p., Equipment, Capitalized

NIGP 91127 CIP, Equipment, Capitalized (Item) covers the furnishing and installation of specialized infrastructure systems and equipment integral to capital improvement projects — specifically the procurement of materials, labor, equipment, and testing services needed to bring major facilities and utility systems into operational condition. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect work ranging from information technology and low-voltage infrastructure installation in recreational facilities, to production well construction with specialized drilling and geophysical testing, to sewer system pump equipment and appurtenances for multi-phase utility expansions. Issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Brevard County, Florida), municipalities (City of Palm Bay, Florida; Orange County, Florida), and special-purpose utility districts (Beaufort-Jasper Water and Sewer Authority, South Carolina). Scope spans both new infrastructure construction and the engineering design and permitting services that precede or accompany capital buildout, with a mix of sealed-bid (ITB, IFB) and negotiated (RFP) notice types.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast, with recent opportunities posted from Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina. Representative recent solicitations include DeKalb County's ITB 2026-076-ITB for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center with new IT and low-voltage infrastructure (bids due July 13, 2026); the City of Palm Bay's RFP 30-RFP-26 for four production wells at the North Regional Water Treatment Plant with specialized drilling, geophysical logging, and testing (due April 28, 2026); and the Beaufort-Jasper Water and Sewer Authority's IFB 2026IFB020 for Alljoy Low Pressure Sewer Phase 1, including approximately 114 grinder pump systems, 21.5 miles of sewer main, and septic tank abandoncements across four sequential phases (due March 24, 2026). Orange County, Florida also released RFP Y26-900 for continuing engineering services supporting utility department projects with construction costs under $7.5 million, with contract durations of one year renewable twice, minimum performance fee of $25,000, and compensation negotiated on a project-by-project basis.
