NIGP 92581: Roofing, Engineering

NIGP 92581 Roofing, Engineering is an Item code encompassing design, engineering analysis, and specialized consulting services for roof systems—distinct from general roofing installation. State and local governments procure roofing engineering through this code when they need condition assessments, feasibility studies, specification development, materials analysis, structural evaluation, constructability review, or compliance verification before or during roof replacement and repair projects. Recent solicitations show roofing engineering appearing most often as a component of larger design-build, renovation, or capital improvement procurements where qualified A/E firms provide facade and envelope evaluation, retrofit design, code compliance analysis, and construction administration for institutional, municipal, and utility facilities.

Issuing bodies span county governments (Volusia, Collier, Cobb, DeKalb, and Pinellas counties in the Southeast; Okaloosa County, Florida), municipalities (City of Orlando, City of Madison, City of Doral, City of Santa Fe, City of Phoenix, City of Union City), school districts (DeKalb County School District, North Clackamas School District, Houston City College, Hutto Independent School District), universities (Texas A&M System, Georgia Gwinnett College, Tarleton State University, UT San Antonio), transit and public authorities (Canaveral Port Authority, Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue, Santa Clara County Central Fire Protection District), and regional water and utility districts (West Basin Municipal Water District, Cobb County Water Reclamation Facility). Representative recent opportunities include Volusia County's CDBG-DR Palmetto House Roof Replacement (IFB 26-B-118KW, due October 29, 2026, $120,481.23 estimated construction cost with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage and Section 3 requirements); DeKalb County School District's Miller Grove High School Building Facade Repairs and Replacement (RFQu 26-752-003, due June 18, 2026, targeting $700 million district capital improvement program); and North Clackamas School District's Building Envelope and Roof Consultant Services (RFP-2627-123, due September 10, 2026, supporting a $245 million bond package). Roofing engineering activity clusters in Florida (Volusia, Collier, Okaloosa, Monroe counties and City of Doral), Georgia (DeKalb, Cobb, Lowndes, Chatham counties and multiple cities), Texas (Houston, Stephenville, College Station), and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, California). Consulting deliverables range from preliminary engineering reports and 30/50/100-percent design stages through construction administration, with fee structures commonly structured as fixed design phases or hourly not-to-exceed arrangements; prevailing wage, Davis-Bacon, and federal compliance (BABA, Build America Buy America, FEMA PA Program) appear frequently in federally or grant-funded projects.
