NIGP 92537: Facilities Design Services, Engineering

NIGP 92537 Facilities Design Services, Engineering is an Item code under which state and local governments procure comprehensive architectural and engineering design services for infrastructure projects ranging from public facilities renovation to major capital improvements. Recent solicitations reveal state and local bodies purchasing full-service design delivery—from preliminary studies through construction administration—across water systems, transportation, public buildings, parks, and specialized facilities including fire stations, hospitals, and utility infrastructure. The code captures work performed by multidisciplinary A/E teams coordinating structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, civil, and landscape design, often including surveying, permitting assistance, constructability review, and phased design-development deliverables at 30%, 60%, 90%, and 100% completion milestones.

State and local issuers span departments of transportation and utilities, municipal public works and planning offices, county facilities and tollway authorities, independent school districts, community colleges and state universities, water authorities and reclamation districts, regional transit agencies, and special-purpose districts. Recent repeat buyers include Harris County Toll Road Authority (system-wide inspections and segment design for major programs), West Basin Municipal Water District (on-call engineering for water infrastructure across 17 cities), the City of Pembroke Pines and City of Cleveland (roadway and water utility design), and multiple Florida municipalities and state agencies seeking continuing professional services. Geographic activity is distributed across Texas (Harris County toll projects, city utilities in Cleveland and San Marcos, state facilities in Austin), Florida (multiple water and wastewater facility designs, county projects, college campuses), Georgia (GDOT district facilities, correctional facilities, university capital projects), and scattered one-off procurements in Connecticut, Oregon, Michigan, South Carolina, and Arizona. Recent representative opportunities include Harris County Toll Road Authority's RFSQ for system-wide inspection and condition assessments due August 17, 2026 (multiple awards); West Basin Municipal Water District's on-call engineering services for $3 million estimated value with up to five awards due July 14, 2026; the City of Cleveland's Pleasant Valley Pump Station and Ground Storage Tank design under RFP due July 21, 2026 with 42-month duration; the Texas Facilities Commission's A/E services for the Texas Finance Commission New Building with $53 million estimated construction cost, responses due July 22, 2026, requiring HUB subcontracting; the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission's design professional services for GDOT's District-7 Administration Office ($22 million stated cost limitation) with qualifications due July 27, 2026; and Orange County's Goldenrod Village supportive housing design at $1.9 million estimated design cost with submissions due August 4, 2026. Multiple procurements incorporate SBE, MBE, DBE, HUB, and local-vendor preferences, prevailing-wage compliance, and federal funding contingencies under Davis-Bacon and state revolving fund programs.
