NIGP 92515: Chemical Processing and Storage/Engineering

NIGP 92515 Chemical Processing And Storage/Engineering, an Item code, encompasses design, engineering, and professional consulting services for chemical handling, storage infrastructure, and related facility projects that state and local governments solicit when managing wastewater treatment upgrades, landfill systems, water resource recovery operations, and environmental compliance initiatives. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers engaging architects and engineers to handle preliminary design, construction administration, third-party technical review, and feasibility studies across chemical-intensive infrastructure including secondary clarifier rehabilitation, screened final effluent treatment systems, landfill gas utilization planning, and wastewater treatment facility upgrades.

Issuing bodies span county public works departments, regional water authorities, waste management divisions, and municipal utilities across multiple states. The County of Orange, California appears as a standout repeat buyer, posting multiple architect-engineer and design-support RFQs in the recent window for flood control engineering, cost estimating, green infrastructure, geotechnical services, and landfill professional services. Other active buyers include the Great Lakes Water Authority (Michigan), Willow Lake Water Pollution Control Facility (Oregon), Madison County (Georgia), the City of Fort Myers (Florida), and Tampa Bay Water (Florida). Representative recent solicitations include the County of Orange's RFQ for Architect-Engineer Flood Control Engineering Services (RFQ 0803091002RE, responses due August 13, 2026) for design and hydrologic analysis supporting county-wide and district-wide task orders; the Great Lakes Water Authority's third-party design review for the Screened Final Effluent Rehabilitation project (REQ0007862, proposals due February 13, 2026) requiring independent multidisciplinary assessment of wastewater treatment design documents; and the State of Utah Division of Purchasing's construction project management RFP (SB266, due August 20, 2026) covering design support and procurement planning across planning, design, and construction phases with historical usage showing $6.47 million in purchases, predominantly from K-12 schools (55.5 percent). Geographic activity concentrates in California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, and Oregon, with scattered federal and state-level procurements for water infrastructure and environmental compliance support.
