NIGP 91230: Construction, Power Plant

NIGP 91230 Construction, Power Plant is an Item code covering specialized construction of power generation, utility, and infrastructure facilities. State and local governments use this code to procure design-build, design-bid-build, and progressive design-build projects for energy infrastructure, water treatment and distribution systems, wastewater facilities, backup power systems, and related utility plant construction. Recent solicitations show a mix of mechanical, electrical, civil, and structural work—pump stations, generators, chiller systems, seismic upgrades to medical facilities, and reclaimed water infrastructure. Issuing bodies are primarily county departments (Santa Clara County facilities authority, Orange County Florida, Hillsborough County), municipalities (City of Apopka, City of McKinney), special-purpose districts (Sanitation District No. 2-3, Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County, Central Florida Tourism Oversight District), and regional medical centers. Santa Clara County emerges as a repeat buyer, with multiple concurrent seismic-compliance projects at healthcare facilities and water infrastructure upgrades. School districts and transit authorities do not appear in the recent block.

The geographic spread centers on California (Santa Clara County, Orange County Florida alternatives), Florida (Hillsborough, Orange, Apopka), and secondary activity in Georgia, Arizona, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Capital Projects Management's Valrico Reclaimed Water Facility Diesel Generator Project (IFB IFB2600406, due November 18, 2026, estimated $4,728,600 with 5% SBE subcontractor participation goal); Santa Clara County's progressive design-build RMC Seismic Compliance project (RFPFAFFY27263CP26011, design-build entity prequalification due September 16, 2026); Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County's mass-burn waste-to-energy facility demolition, design, build, operate, and maintain procurement (RFEI 27-501, Letters of Interest due November 18, 2026, anticipated 20+ year operation term); and the City of DeBary, Florida's Rob Sullivan Park irrigation system upgrade (Bid 0315, competitive bid process with $90,000 engineer's estimate and 45-day completion from Notice to Proceed). Set-asides and preferences vary by issuer: SBE goals appear in Florida and California solicitations; DBE goals are standard where federal funding is present; local-labor preferences (Bibb County Public Schools required 75% on-site workforce from Bibb County and surrounding areas) signal meaningful local leverage on some awards.
