NIGP 92565: Machine Design/Engineering

NIGP 92565 Machine Design/Engineering, an Item code, covers engineering design, structural assessment, and infrastructure engineering services that state and local governments procure for capital projects, facility upgrades, and public infrastructure improvements. Recent solicitations show demand for professional engineering design across water and wastewater systems, transportation corridors, building systems, utilities infrastructure, and specialized structural work. Issuing bodies include state departments of transportation (Georgia Department of Transportation), county governments (Pinellas County, Orange County, DeKalb County, Madison County, Cobb County, Pasco County), municipalities (City of Alpharetta, City of Dunwoody, City of West Sacramento, City of Rio Rancho, City of Cedartown, City of Union City, City of Nicholls, City of Social Circle), transit authorities (Jacksonville Transportation Authority, Urban Flood Safety & Water Quality District in Portland), and special-purpose districts (North Florida Transportation Planning Organization). Design-build and progressive design-build delivery methods appear alongside traditional design services procurement, with owner's verification firms and construction administration services frequently bundled into engineering scopes.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (GDOT, multiple municipalities and counties), Florida (Orange County, Pasco County, Jacksonville Transportation Authority), and California (West Sacramento), with additional solicitations in New Mexico and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Georgia Department of Transportation's RFQ for General Engineering Consulting and Owner's Verification Firm services for the I-75 South Express Lanes project (due July 24, 2026) spanning design, environmental services, traffic analysis, and post-let administration; Madison County, Georgia's RFQ for wastewater treatment plant upgrades and sewer line extension design (due June 24, 2026) under an Appalachian Regional Commission grant with Build America Buy America compliance; Orange County, Florida's RFP for continuing engineering services to water, wastewater, and reclaimed water utility projects with up to five award positions (due February 17, 2026, with hourly rates and project-specific fee negotiation); and the City of Alpharetta's RFP for Alpha Loop multi-modal infrastructure design across three road segments (due March 19, 2026) evaluated on qualifications, example projects, technical approach, and cost on a 100-point scale. Federal funding sources (CDBG, GEFA, EDA, ARC, FTA, Transportation Alternatives Program) and state grant programs drive procurement, with compliance requirements including BABA, Section 3 certification, and federal prevailing wage obligations common in awarded contracts. Task-order and continuing-services structures predominate, with initial contract terms of one to five years and optional renewals frequently available.
