NIGP 92588: Structural Engineering

NIGP 92588 Structural Engineering, an Item code, encompasses independent structural review, design, and analysis services that state and local governments procure for building systems, infrastructure projects, and facility renovations. Recent state and local solicitations show demand for structural engineering across healthcare facilities (hospital floor reconfigurations, electrical infrastructure upgrades), water and wastewater infrastructure (force mains, reclamation facilities), transportation projects (pedestrian bridges, roadway corridors), and institutional buildings (schools, community facilities). Work typically includes construction document review, calculations and design submittals, constructability assessments, materials testing and inspection, and construction administration.

Issuing bodies span state departments (California Department of General Services, Georgia Department of Transportation, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources), county and municipal governments (Cobb County Georgia, Pinellas County Florida, City of Winder Georgia, City of San Antonio, Town of Manchester Connecticut), university systems (UCLA, Texas A&M, University of South Florida), and special-purpose districts (Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities, Anne Arundel Community College). Geographic activity concentrates in California, Georgia, Florida, Utah, and Minnesota, with scattered solicitations in Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include the Georgia Department of Transportation's RFQ for Independent Cost Estimator services supporting alternative delivery projects on the I-285 East Express Lanes (responses due November 16, 2026); the California Department of General Services' RFQ for structural engineering A&E services providing independent structural review of hospital and skilled nursing facility construction documents under contract HCAI 26-27017 with a $4.5 million three-year retainer (responses due November 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix's RFQ for construction administration and inspection services on the Lift Station 47 Redundant Force Main project worth an estimated $7.9 million (responses due October 30, 2026); and the City of Winder Georgia's RFQ for preconstruction engineering design services for a pedestrian bridge project with multi-phase contract delivery (responses due November 19, 2026).
