NIGP 92565: Machine Design/Engineering

NIGP 92565 Machine Design/Engineering, an Item code, encompasses professional engineering design and consulting services for infrastructure, facilities, and systems projects—including roadway and drainage reconstruction, water and wastewater treatment facilities, vertical utility infrastructure, building commissioning, and general engineering consulting across civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical disciplines. State and local governments solicit this work through RFPs, RFQs, and task-order arrangements from counties, cities, special districts, and state agencies, with selection typically based on qualifications, experience, past performance, and fee negotiation rather than low-bid competition. Recent solicitations show firms competing on demonstrated experience with similar project types, relevant professional licenses and certifications, and capacity to manage complex infrastructure improvements.

The mix of recent activity spans county governments (Chatham County, Madison County, Pinellas County, Pasco County), municipal governments (City of Griffin, City of Social Circle, City of Union City, City of Rio Rancho, City of Madison, City of Nicholls), the Georgia Department of Transportation, special districts (Urban Flood Safety & Water Quality District in Portland), and state agencies (Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission on behalf of the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities). Georgia dominates the recent posting record, with solicitations for pavement and drainage design (Chatham County, RFP 26-0088-2, due September 8, 2026), preliminary engineering reports and design for federally funded water and sewer improvements (City of Griffin, RFQ 27-002, due September 4, 2026), general engineering consulting for express lanes (Georgia Department of Transportation, RFQ 484-082426, due August 24, 2026), wastewater treatment plant upgrades and sewer line extension (Madison County, RFQ due June 24, 2026), and gymnasium reconstruction following hurricane damage (City of Nicholls, RFQ due June 2, 2026). Additional geographic representation includes Florida (Pasco County owner advisor for design-build projects, due June 16, 2026), Wisconsin (City of Madison commissioning services for a LEED clubhouse project, due August 7, 2026), Oregon (Urban Flood Safety & Water Quality District pump station engineering on-call services, due June 3, 2026), and New Mexico (City of Rio Rancho utilities department on-call engineering, due June 18, 2026).
