NIGP 92533: Engineer Services, Professional

NIGP 92533 Engineer Services, Professional is an Item code covering on-call and project-specific design, engineering, and construction-related professional services procured by state and local jurisdictions. State and local governments buy comprehensive engineering support under this code: design services for HVAC system replacements, water treatment plant upgrades, stormwater and flood mitigation infrastructure, roadway widening and pedestrian bridge design, building electrification feasibility studies, construction engineering and inspection (CEI) services, and facilities master planning. Solicitations range from single-discipline civil or mechanical engineering to multidisciplinary teams delivering full architectural-engineering services across conceptual design, permitting, construction documents, and construction administration. Issuing bodies span school districts (Marion County Public School District in Florida), county governments (Sarasota County, Broward County, Escambia County, Pinellas County), cities (Daytona Beach, Fort Myers, Tucson, Palo Alto, Arlington), regional authorities (Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, Melbourne Airport Authority), and special-purpose districts (Glades Electric Cooperative). Repeat activity appears concentrated in Florida—Sarasota County, Marion County Public Schools, and cities across the state posted multiple opportunities in recent months—though recent solicitations also reflect sustained demand from Georgia, Arizona, Colorado, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Oregon jurisdictions.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the scope's breadth: Marion County Public School District issued an RFQ for architectural-engineering design services on Belleview Middle School HVAC Upgrades (40-acre campus-wide replacement of existing heat pump systems with chilled water systems), due February 26, 2026, with a two-phase evaluation process scoring related project experience, team qualifications, and public school systems expertise; Sarasota County requested design, permitting, and bid-phase engineering support for stormwater and flood mitigation at Lake Park Boulevard Area Improvements, due November 10, 2026; the City of Daytona Beach solicited progressive design-build teams for Ralph Brennan Water Treatment Plant storm hardening and resiliency, due September 22, 2026, with $35.139 million in initial SAHM funding and an additional $7.435 million on the waiting list; and the City of Palo Alto sought facility assessment, design, cost estimates, and construction administration for electrification of five city facilities as part of an 18-facility program targeting 80 percent natural gas reduction by 2040, due March 30, 2026. These procurements typically involve RFQ processes under state consultant competitive negotiation acts, two-phase qualifications-then-interviews selection, and evaluation weighting favor of related project experience (30–45 points), personnel qualifications (20–35 points), technical approach (20–30 points), and firm capacity or past performance (10–25 points). Federal compliance—Davis-Bacon wages, NEPA documentation, E-Verify, prevailing wage—appears regularly in water utility, transportation, and grant-funded infrastructure projects.
