NIGP 92531: Electrical Engineering (incl. Cogeneration Design Services)

NIGP 92531 Electrical Engineering (Incl. Cogeneration Design Services), an Item code, encompasses the design, engineering analysis, and consulting services that state and local governments procure for electrical infrastructure projects—from utility conduit installation and distribution-system analysis to lighting design, switchgear assessment, and grid modernization feasibility studies. Recent solicitations show a diverse mix of electrical engineering work: Kissimmee Utility Authority's conduit installation RFP covering multiple concurrent HDPE and restrained-joint conduit lines at varying depths; the City of Santa Cruz's streetlight LED design for the Riverwalk; the State of Nevada Colorado River Commission's high-voltage substation and transmission engineering services; and the Maryland Energy Administration's feasibility study on advanced reconductoring and grid-enhancing technologies. Counties and special districts (particularly in Florida, Georgia, and California) are the most frequent buyers under this code, with smaller numbers of city, school district, and utility-authority solicitations. Geographic activity clusters in Florida (Kissimmee, Miami-Dade, Orange County, Pinellas, and Palm Beach counties), Georgia (Atlanta Public Schools, City of Rome), California (Santa Cruz, San Antonio), and western states (Nevada, Utah, Texas). Work solicited spans routine maintenance and repair (Atlanta Public Schools electrical services IFB, Dallas switchgear repair), design-build delivery (Rome Water Reclamation secondary clarifier rehabilitation, Port Wentworth parks facility), on-call panels for facilities engineering, and specialized grid and microgrid projects (Orlando Utilities Commission energy-storage design, Pinellas County microgrid at solid-waste facility).

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the breadth: Kissimmee Utility Authority RFP26036JG for continuing conduit installation services (firm fixed-price, three-year base with two optional one-year renewals, due July 28, 2026 with responses being evaluated across 167 line items); Orange County Public Works RFQ 0803128202DBA for structural engineering services establishing a QVL for on-call task-order work across capital improvements (due December 4, 2026); Portsmouth Public Schools RFP 1117P2627 for architectural and engineering services including electrical discipline on an as-needed basis covering design, construction administration, and feasibility studies (due November 9, 2026, with MBE/WBE subcontracting plan requirement and 30% small-business participation goal); the City of Orlando's Safe Speeds Lab transportation engineering RFQ-27-0008 for infrastructure planning funded by DOT's Safe Streets and Roads for All grant (due November 5, 2026, requiring Florida PE registration); and the State of Nevada Colorado River Commission RFP 69CRC-S3987 for high-voltage system engineering on an as-needed basis covering substation operations, transmission work, and distribution services (due October 26, 2026, with 5% Nevada preference and multiple-award structure). Activity under this code remains robust across municipal utilities, school systems, and county governments pursuing capital upgrades, facility renovations, and grid modernization work.
