NIGP 91819: Buildings, Structures and Components Consulting

NIGP 91819 Buildings, Structures and Components Consulting, Item code, spans design, engineering, and professional assessment services for built-environment projects in public-sector facilities. State and local governments solicit under this code for architect/engineer firms, construction managers, and facility consultants supporting capital projects from planning through construction closeout — including building envelope design, facilities condition assessment, cost estimating, commissioning, and owner's representation.

Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include university systems, counties, cities, school districts, and special-purpose authorities. Texas A&M University System Office of Facilities Planning & Construction is a repeat buyer, having posted at least three architect/engineer RFQs for new facilities (West Campus Vivarium, Public and Allied Health Facility, VetMed Animal Housing Facility, and Agricultural Sciences Building) with planning amounts ranging from $18.7 million to $129.99 million. County departments of airports (Sacramento County) have issued multiple CMAR and facilities assessment solicitations. Municipal planning departments and building departments (Dane County, San Mateo County, North Clackamas School District, Seminole County, Columbus Consolidated Government) solicit for specialized consulting on radio interoperability systems, facilities commissioning, building envelope services, transportation corridor studies, and building inspection. Recent representative solicitations include Dane County's RFP for Public Safety Communications Radio Interoperability and Systems Engineering Services (due November 3, 2026) spanning needs assessment and infrastructure modernization for 85 public safety agencies; Texas A&M's RFQ for West Campus Vivarium design (due November 10, 2026) with $98.5 million in construction value; Sacramento County's CMAR RFQ for Airfield Maintenance Facility (SOQ due November 19, 2026, estimated construction budget $18 million); and Seminole County's RFP for Building Commissioning Services (due October 7, 2026) covering new construction and existing facilities across multiple county projects with a three-year Master Services Agreement structure.

Geographic activity is concentrated in California (Sacramento County airports, Austin Community College), Texas (Texas A&M University System campuses, Austin), and the Southeast (Florida, Georgia, South Carolina), with additional scattered municipal and county demand across Colorado, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Georgia. Recent opportunities span planning-phase consulting (feasibility studies, master planning, standards updates) and execution-phase services (construction management, commissioning, inspection, assessment), with contracts structured as open-ended continuing agreements, multi-award vendor pools, IDIQ arrangements, or firm-fixed-price engagements. Evaluation typically weights qualifications and experience (20–40%), technical approach and project understanding (15–45%), team credentials (10–30%), and cost (5–30%). The code sees consistent activity with response dates spanning September through December 2026.
