NIGP 92577: Pollution Control Engineering

NIGP 92577 Pollution Control Engineering, an Item code, encompasses environmental compliance services, wastewater treatment infrastructure design and upgrades, water quality improvements, and related engineering support that state and local governments solicit under this classification. Recent opportunities show issuing bodies applying this code to airport terminal expansions with environmental compliance scope, highway bridge and express lanes projects with environmental documentation and permitting, and wastewater treatment facility upgrades with direct-discharge conversion—work that bridges traditional pollution control scope with broader infrastructure engineering that incorporates environmental review, permitting, and compliance components. Issuing bodies include state departments of transportation, county and city governments, airport authorities, and special-purpose water districts; Georgia Department of Transportation, City of Santa Fe, Madison County (Georgia), City of Social Circle, and Brazos River Authority appear as repeat buyers across the recent opportunity set.
