NIGP 92561: Land Development and Planning/Engineering

NIGP 92561 Land Development and Planning/Engineering, an Item code, encompasses design, engineering, planning, and feasibility studies for infrastructure, facilities, and community development projects that state and local governments solicit from qualified professional firms. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing preliminary design phases, master planning and corridor studies, site analysis and engineering documentation, construction administration and inspection support, and specialized services such as environmental assessment, stormwater management, and transit-oriented development strategy—often delivered as on-call, task-order, or qualifications-based contracts where compensation is negotiated after selection rather than competitively bid upfront.

State and local issuing bodies active under this code include cities of varying size (Dallas, San Antonio, Springfield, LaGrange, Moab, Burleson), counties (Madison County Georgia, Sarasota County, Milwaukee County, Troup County), special districts (West Basin Municipal Water District, Eastern Municipal Water District, San Antonio River Authority, Salt Lake Community College), state departments (Florida Department of Management Services, Georgia Department of Transportation, Oregon Department of Transportation, California Department of Transportation, California High-Speed Rail Authority), and regional authorities (West Georgia Regional Airport Authority). Recent opportunities show heavy activity in Texas (Dallas stormwater and 911 Emergency Communications Center pre-development, San Antonio on-call planning and design, San Marcos general engineering, Moab downtown master plan), Georgia (multiple cities and counties), California (Caltrans potholing and High-Speed Rail), Oregon (transportation system plans), and Utah (Salt Lake Community College office remodel, Great Salt Lake wetland infrastructure). The City of Dallas appears in multiple solicitations posted in July 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Dallas's RFP for Developer Agent services for a 911 Emergency Communications Center and Emergency Operations Center adaptive reuse (due August 7, 2026), West Basin Municipal Water District's on-call professional engineering services for water and wastewater infrastructure across multiple disciplines (proposals due August 21, 2026, estimated value approximately $3,000,000 shared among up to five awarded firms), and Salt Lake Community College's RFSQ for architectural and engineering services for the AAB 101 Office Remodel at Taylorsville Redwood Road Campus (qualifications due July 30, 2026, project budget $120,000). Caltrans issued two IFBs for on-call positive location of underground utilities (potholing) services in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties (bids due July 21, 2026). Small Business Enterprise and Local Business Enterprise preferences appear in several opportunities, including West Basin's three additional evaluation points for SBE/LBE prime consultants and the California High-Speed Rail Authority's mandatory 25% Small Business participation goal for the Merced to Madera design-build project. Geographic concentration shows sustained procurement activity across multiple states and regions, with no single jurisdiction dominating the recent-opportunity block.
