NIGP 92579: Railroad; Rapid Transit; Monorail/Engineering

NIGP 92579 Railroad; Rapid Transit; Monorail/Engineering is an Item code covering engineering and professional services for transit system design, safety oversight, rehabilitation, and infrastructure improvement. State and local governments procure independent cost estimating for P3 and design-build projects; dispatch network redesign and IT infrastructure for rail operations; preliminary engineering, design, and construction administration for transit corridors and fixed guideway systems; and state safety oversight support for light rail and rapid transit operations. Work spans environmental assessment, traffic and revenue analysis, geotechnical investigation, utility coordination, construction management, and regulatory compliance across both capital planning phases and operational support. Issuing bodies include state transportation departments (Georgia Department of Transportation, California High-Speed Rail Authority, New Jersey Transit Rail Operations), regional transit authorities (South Florida Regional Transportation Authority, Broward County Transportation Department), county and municipal government agencies (Itawamba County Railroad Authority, City of Griffin, Chatham County, City of Dallas), and independent special-purpose authorities.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Florida, California, and New Jersey. Representative solicitations include the Georgia Department of Transportation's RFQ for Independent Cost Estimating services in support of P3 and Alternative Delivery programs (due November 16, 2026); South Florida Regional Transportation Authority's RFP for dispatch network redesign assessment and consolidated network design spanning six data centers and forty-nine wayside locations (RFP 26-011, due November 3, 2026); Itawamba County Railroad Authority's IFB for construction of the Itawamba Mississippian Railway Washout at Beans Ferry (sealed bids, due September 15, 2026); and Broward County Transportation Department's RFP for consulting services supporting its Bus Rapid Transit Program across six corridors totaling approximately 76 miles, with an estimated five-year budget of $30 million distributed among up to three awarded firms (due July 17, 2026). Broward County and Georgia Department of Transportation each issued multiple solicitations under this code in recent months, signaling sustained procurement activity from state-level transportation entities and multi-jurisdictional transit authorities.
