NIGP 91873: Landscaping Consulting

NIGP 91873 Landscaping Consulting is an Item code that captures state and local government procurement for landscape design, master planning, grounds assessment, and related professional advisory services—work that extends beyond routine maintenance into strategic site planning, environmental analysis, and design development. State and local governments use this code for competitive selections of landscape architects and consulting firms to guide park improvements, cemetery beautification, urban forest management, streetscape redesign, stormwater facility vegetation management, and grounds master plans. The work typically involves site assessment, stakeholder engagement, concept development, construction documentation, and construction administration, often paired with installation or maintenance services under separate contracts. Issuing bodies include city parks and planning departments, county governments, school districts, transit authorities (notably Orange County Transportation Authority), special authorities like convention centers, and utilities. Recent solicitations span cities, counties, school boards, universities, and special purpose districts, with no dominant repeat buyer emerging from the recent activity block but significant activity from mid-sized southeastern and midwestern municipalities.

Recent opportunities show landscape consulting work distributed across Florida, Georgia, Wisconsin, Ohio, Kansas, New Mexico, North Carolina, and New York. The City of Atlanta Department of City Planning is developing a comprehensive Urban Forest Master Plan with substantial deliverables and a 15-year planning horizon; Rockland County, New York is seeking architecture and engineering design services for veterans cemetery beautification; and the City of Daytona Beach is soliciting landscape architecture design for a new 38-acre regional park with master plan and construction-ready documents. The City of Charlotte is requesting landscape and tree planting services, while the Lowndes County School Board (Mississippi) and Hattiesburg Public School District are bidding lawn care services. Across this block, landscape consulting activity includes RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs with response dates ranging from May through August 2026, with many solicitations emphasizing design quality, community engagement, and compliance with local standards or sustainability objectives. Prevailing wage requirements appear in select transit and public-sector opportunities; insurance thresholds and bonding are common. Geographic concentration in the Southeast and Upper Midwest reflects seasonal landscaping demand and active park improvement funding cycles, though activity appears nationwide.
