NIGP 92504: Agricultural Engineering

NIGP 92504 Agricultural Engineering, an Item code, encompasses independent cost estimating, engineering design, and construction oversight services that state and local governments procure for infrastructure and capital projects ranging from water system improvements to highway reconstruction to airport terminal expansions. Recent solicitations show the code capturing work across planning, preliminary engineering, design delivery, construction administration, and specialized technical consulting on projects funded through federal, state, and local sources—often with design-build, alternative delivery, or progressive phases.

Issuing bodies span state departments of transportation (Georgia DOT dominates the recent record with multiple CEI, GEC, and OVF procurements), municipalities (Meriden, Albany, Stonecrest, Griffin, Darien, Social Circle, Union City), counties (Forsyth, Chatham, Madison, DeKalb, Lee County Port Authority), special-purpose authorities (Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency, Orlando Aviation Authority, Texas Facilities Commission), and utility and development agencies (Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities, Dawson County Development Authority). Georgia Department of Transportation appears across at least eight recent solicitations for construction engineering inspection, general engineering consulting, owner's verification, statewide planning, and steel fabrication inspection services, indicating sustained and diversified procurement activity from a single high-volume buyer. Geographic activity clusters in Georgia (Atlanta corridor, state highway system projects, municipal infrastructure), Florida (Orange County ITS, Southwest Florida Airport), the Mountain West (Salt Lake City water utilities), the South and Midwest (Texas, Connecticut school construction), and Sacramento region (flood control agricultural leases). Representative recent opportunities include the Georgia Department of Transportation's RFQ for Independent Cost Estimator services in support of the I-285 East Express Lanes Project (Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Maintain delivery, due November 16, 2026); the City of Meriden's RFQ/RFP for comprehensive architectural and engineering design of a new elementary school with mandatory pre-proposal meeting and BIM deliverables (due October 22, 2026); Orange County, Florida's RFP for intelligent transportation systems design on John Young Parkway (due September 15, 2026, estimated cost $1.017 million); and Forsyth County's progressive design-build RFP for Old Atlanta Road Safety Improvements with a 30 percent self-perform construction requirement (due July 9, 2026).
