NIGP 92566: Manufacturing Engineering

NIGP 92566 Manufacturing Engineering, an Item code, encompasses consulting services for civil infrastructure design, engineering oversight, and construction administration for public works projects funded through federal, state, and local grant programs. State and local governments use this code to procure preliminary engineering reports, final design documents, construction engineering inspection, project management, and compliance verification for water and wastewater systems, transportation improvements, building rehabilitation, and utility infrastructure. Work typically includes surveying, geotechnical investigation, permitting support, environmental documentation, construction administration, and quality assurance across multi-phase projects. Issuing bodies span county commissions, city utilities departments, state transportation agencies, and regional authorities. Georgia Department of Transportation and county governments in Georgia account for the majority of recent activity, with additional procurement from Florida counties, Wisconsin higher-education institutions, and New Mexico municipalities. Selection typically proceeds through RFQ or RFP with qualifications-based evaluation, with many solicitations requiring professional engineering licensure, demonstrated experience on federally funded projects, and specific Area Class prequalifications. Professional liability and errors-and-omissions insurance minimums commonly range from $1 million to $2 million per claim.

Recent representative opportunities include the Georgia Department of Transportation's RFQ 484-082426 for General Engineering Consulting and Owner's Verification Firm services on the I-75 South Express Lanes project (response due August 24, 2026), Lowndes County Board of Commissioners' RFP for engineering services supporting Community Development Block Grant infrastructure projects (due August 17, 2026), Madison County, Georgia's RFQ for design and construction management of a wastewater treatment facility upgrade and 1.7-mile sewer line extension funded through Appalachian Regional Commission grant (qualifications due June 24, 2026), and Orange County, Florida's RFP for continuing engineering services to its Utilities Department with up to five awards for projects under $7.5 million in construction cost (deadline February 17, 2026). Federal funding through CDBG, GEFA, ARC, TAP, and FEMA PA programs is prevalent, triggering Build America Buy America, Section 3 compliance, and civil-rights documentation requirements across most solicitations.
