NIGP 92507: Air Conditioning, Heating and Ventilating Engineering

NIGP 92507 Air Conditioning, Heating And Ventilating Engineering, an Item code, covers design, engineering consultation, and commissioning services for HVAC systems across state and local facilities—including university research and teaching buildings, municipal water and wastewater infrastructure, airport terminals, detention centers, school facilities, and utility operations centers. State and local governments solicit under this code for comprehensive mechanical engineering services spanning new construction, renovation, retrofit, and equipment replacement, with scopes encompassing HVAC design, load calculations, controls integration, testing and balancing, and construction administration. Issuing bodies include university systems (Texas A&M, University of Texas, Lamar, Paris Junior College, UT San Antonio), municipal departments and airports, county utilities and public works agencies, school districts, and special-purpose water and wastewater authorities. Recent work reflects heavy activity among higher-education facilities planners managing capital programs funded through state appropriations and user fees.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with scattered activity across the country. Representative opportunities include the Texas A&M University System Office of Facilities Planning & Construction requesting architect/engineer qualifications for the West Campus Vivarium (68,890 gross square feet, $135 million planning amount, RFQ due November 10, 2026 via e-Builder); West Basin Municipal Water District soliciting engineering and design services for server room construction at the Edward C. Little Water Reclamation Facility in El Segundo, California (176–260 square feet with precision cooling and fire protection, RFP due October 22, 2026, with SBE, LBE, and VBE incentive points); City of Fort Myers conducting a continuing professional services procurement for MEP and fire protection design and support engineering under Florida's Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act (RSQ 26-011, proposals due March 24, 2026 through OpenGov, three-year initial term with one optional two-year renewal); and University of Texas System requesting qualifications for utilities and energy management projects on an IDIQ basis ($5 million maximum contract value, VetHUB Subcontracting Plan required, qualifications due November 2, 2026). Activity emphasizes qualification-based selections, phased design deliverables at 30/60/100% completion, construction administration support, federal compliance requirements including prevailing wage and Build America Buy America standards when applicable, and professional liability insurance minimums of $1–5 million depending on project scale.
