NIGP 91819: Buildings, Structures and Components Consulting

NIGP 91819 Buildings, Structures And Components Consulting is an Item code that encompasses architectural, engineering, and professional services for facility design, assessment, commissioning, and construction management across state and local government infrastructure. State and local governments use this code to procure design consulting for new construction and major renovations, condition assessments and facilities planning, construction manager-at-risk and design-build services, building systems engineering (MEP, envelope, commissioning), owner's representation and project management, plan review and inspection services, and specialized consulting such as energy audits, post-disaster assessment, and feasibility studies. Recent activity spans counties, cities, school districts, airports, universities, and state agencies across multiple states, with particular concentration among airport authorities managing capital improvement programs, school systems delivering new facilities, and county governments supporting infrastructure planning and code enforcement.

County and municipal governments dominate the recent procurement mix. Sacramento County's Department of Airports has issued multiple CMAR solicitations for taxiway rehabilitation and terminal improvements, each valued in the range of $100 million to $150 million. The Bartow County School System and Klein Independent School District are procuring construction management and commissioning services for new school facilities. Brevard County, the City of Wichita, and several Florida cities are acquiring architectural and engineering design services for infrastructure master planning and code compliance. State agencies including Washington Department of Commerce, Oregon Department of Business Development, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, and the Texas A&M University System are soliciting design and planning consulting for facilities modernization, energy efficiency, strategic planning, and academic buildings. Representative recent opportunities include the County of Sacramento's RFQ for CMAR services on the Sacramento International Airport Pedestrian Walkway (due July 30, 2026), Henry County Georgia's RFP for a Freight Cluster Plan (due July 30, 2026), the City of Wichita's RFP for Water and Sanitary Sewer Master Plans (due April 17, 2026), and Austin Community College's IDIQ for Building Envelope Engineering Services (due June 10, 2026).

Geographic spread reflects activity across the West, Southeast, and Midwest. California (Sacramento County airports, Fort Worth hotel development), Texas (multiple school districts, Texas A&M facilities, Austin Community College), Florida (Pembroke Pines, Brevard County, Wichita), Georgia (Bartow County, Henry County, Columbus, Invest Atlanta TAD planning), Colorado (Roaring Judy Hatchery design), Oregon (Manzanita building official services, UAS strategic planning), and Washington (Department of Commerce facilities and energy projects) represent the current concentration. Response dates range from April through September 2026, with evaluation criteria typically weighting firm qualifications and relevant experience at 25–40 percent, technical approach at 15–30 percent, and cost at 5–30 percent depending on whether selection is qualifications-based or best-value. Many procurements require professional licensure (PE, architect, contractor's license), insurance thresholds of $1–2 million general liability, and compliance with prevailing wage and code enforcement standards where applicable.
