NIGP 92568: Metallurgical Engineering

NIGP 92568 Metallurgical Engineering is an Item code that rolls up engineering design, consulting, and project management services for infrastructure, facility, and systems work across water, wastewater, transportation, and building projects—not traditional metallurgical process or materials analysis. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily issuing qualification-based RFPs and RFQs for on-call engineering consultants, design-phase services, and construction administration across capital projects. Issuing bodies include cities (Santa Fe, Rio Rancho, Griffin, Madison, Union City, Nicholls), counties (Chatham, DeKalb, Madison), transit and utility authorities (West Basin Municipal Water District), and state departments (Georgia Department of Transportation). Repeat activity centers on airport terminal and facility expansion (Santa Fe Regional Airport), water and wastewater infrastructure (West Basin on-call engineering, Madison County wastewater treatment plant and sewer extension), roadway design and reconstruction (Chatham County pavement and drainage, Georgia DOT I-75 South Express Lanes, Social Circle pedestrian sidewalk), and building renovation or new construction (Odana Golf Clubhouse commissioning, Nicholls Gymnasium replacement following Hurricane Helene damage).

Recent opportunities span New Mexico, California, Georgia, and Wisconsin. Representative solicitations include the City of Santa Fe's RFP FY26RFP037 for Architect and Engineer Services—Santa Fe Regional Airport Rental Car Parking and East Parking Lot Expansion (RFP, due February 20, 2026); West Basin Municipal Water District's RFPTH0128 for On-Call Professional Engineering Services supporting water, recycled water, and wastewater infrastructure (on-call contract through June 30, 2029, estimated at approximately $3,000,000 shared among up to five awarded firms); Chatham County's RFP 26-0088-2 for Design Engineering Consultant services for Wahlstrom and Forbes Road pavement and drainage reconstruction (RFP, due September 8, 2026); and the City of Rio Rancho's RFP 26-003-UT for On-Call Engineering to the Utilities Department (RFP, due June 18, 2026).
