NIGP 92507: Air Conditioning, Heating and Ventilating Engineering

NIGP 92507 Air Conditioning, Heating and Ventilating Engineering, an Item code, covers the design, engineering assessment, and technical support work that state and local governments buy when upgrading, replacing, or troubleshooting HVAC systems at facilities ranging from schools and municipal buildings to wastewater treatment plants and university campuses. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers treating this code work as part of larger A/E scopes for facility improvements, though standalone HVAC design-build and engineering consulting contracts also appear regularly—among them the Texas A&M University System's RFQ for Reynolds Medical Sciences Building Level 2 HVAC Upgrade (RFQ due August 4, 2026), Lamar University's indefinite-quantity HVAC Testing, Adjusting and Balancing professional engineering services (contract not-to-exceed $2,000,000, qualifications due April 29, 2026), and an Oregon state or local agency's design-build HVAC system replacement for Building 115 (ITB due July 14, 2026, with design-bid-construct phasing and Integration with existing Energy Management Control System required). Issuers span state higher-education systems (Texas A&M, Tarleton State University), county and city governments (Pinellas County, Orange County), school districts (Norwalk Public Schools), transit and water authorities (Great Lakes Water Authority), and other special-purpose districts, with repeat buyers including the Texas A&M University System Office of Facilities Planning & Construction, which has posted multiple A/E RFQs naming mechanical and HVAC design as part of larger building renovation and expansion scopes.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with additional procurement posted in Connecticut, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Wisconsin. Representative opportunities include the City of Santa Fe Regional Airport Terminal Expansion (RFP due December 17, 2025, qualification-based selection emphasizing organizational experience and references), Pinellas County's vertical utility infrastructure engineering services RFQ for water and wastewater treatment facilities with HVAC and mechanical systems components (RFQ due December 18, 2025, five-year contract with potential 24-month extension), Walworth County Wisconsin's on-call MEP/FP engineering services for small projects (RFQu due February 19, 2026, one-year initial term plus four optional renewals, individual project fees capped at $250,000), and Montgomery County Pennsylvania's air handling unit replacement at the Police/Sheriff Training Center Weapons Training Facility (bids due June 18, 2026). Federal funding flows through FAA grants for airport work, FEMA PA programs for disaster recovery at municipal facilities, CDBG and GEFA for infrastructure, and transit funding (FTA) for transportation planning organizations, all of which impose Build America Buy America, prevailing wage, and civil rights compliance requirements that frequently appear in scope language.
