NIGP 92586: Surveyor Services, Land

NIGP 92586 Surveyor Services, Land, an Item code, encompasses the boundary surveys, topographic surveys, utility locates, as-built surveys, and related professional land surveying work that state and local governments procure to support infrastructure planning, design, right-of-way acquisition, and construction projects. Recent solicitations show governments contracting for land surveying across capital improvement programs, water and wastewater systems, airport facilities, transportation projects, and one-off infrastructure initiatives. Issuing bodies include water utilities (Eastern Municipal Water District in California, Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department in Florida), transportation departments (Caltrans District 8 and District 10, Georgia Department of Transportation), cities (Savannah, Tolleson, Dallas, Sandy Springs, Santa Cruz, Bainbridge, Union City, Trenton, Plant City, Sebastian), counties (Orange County California, Pinellas County Florida, Marion County Florida, San Bernardino County California, Broward County Florida, DeKalb County Georgia, Baltimore County Maryland), special districts (Suwannee River Water Management District in Florida, California Tahoe Conservancy, California Department of Fish and Wildlife), state universities (Texas State University System, Texas State Technical College, University of Texas at Tyler), and tribal governments (Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians). Repeat buyers visible in the recent opportunities include Palm Beach County, which posted multiple concurrent solicitations for surveying and mapping continuing services across its water utilities and airport departments.

Geographic concentration spans California (Caltrans, CDFW, Tahoe Conservancy, San Bernardino County, Orange County), Florida (multiple water utilities, counties, and municipalities), Texas (state system, university, TCEQ, municipal), Georgia (DOT, multiple cities and counties), and scattered activity in Arizona, Connecticut, Oregon, Maryland, and other states. Representative recent solicitations include Eastern Municipal Water District's as-needed right-of-way and professional land surveyor services RFQ in Riverside County, California, with proposals due August 5, 2026; the City of Tolleson, Arizona's on-call general engineering services SOQ including surveying, with responses due August 19, 2026; and Caltrans District 8's A&E on-call land surveying services solicitation covering San Bernardino and Riverside counties, with SOQs due July 14, 2026 and an estimated contract value of $2,428,285 to $3,945,963 over four years. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife's statewide four-year land surveying RFQ, with SOQs due July 9, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $5 million on a time-and-materials basis, signals sustained demand for boundary surveys, legal descriptions, and GIS development across California's 749-property portfolio. Continuing services agreements dominate the market structure, with most procurements offering on-call or as-needed work through individual task orders or consultant service authorizations rather than firm fixed scopes, and with contract terms of three to five years plus renewal options standard.
