NIGP 92592: Value Engineering and Value Analysis Services, Professional

NIGP 92592 Value Engineering and Value Analysis Services, Professional is an Item code describing the consulting services state and local governments procure to optimize project design, cost, and performance through systematic value methodologies applied during planning, design, or construction phases. Recent solicitations show state transportation departments, counties, cities, and special districts contracting for value engineering embedded within larger capital project delivery—typically as part of construction engineering and inspection (CEI), general engineering consulting (GEC), or design-phase professional services rather than as standalone value analysis engagements. The Georgia Department of Transportation issues the majority of recent high-visibility RFQs in this space, soliciting CEI and GEC services for highway and bridge projects where value engineering and quality assurance functions are integral to the scope; other issuing bodies include Broward County Transportation Department (Bus Rapid Transit planning), the City of Santa Fe (airport terminal and parking facility A/E), and Montgomery County, Pennsylvania (trail and culvert engineering). Work solicited spans preliminary engineering reports, final design optimization, construction quality assurance, materials testing and documentation, cost estimating, and post-award technical reviews—with value engineering appearing as an embedded competency required of prequalified consultants rather than as a distinct line item or standalone study.

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia (GDOT's multiple highway and bridge CEI procurements), Florida (airports, utilities, stormwater, and parks A/E services), Pennsylvania (trail and bridge infrastructure), and pockets across the Southwest and Midwest. Representative recent opportunities include the Georgia Department of Transportation's RFQ 484-081726 for Construction Engineering and Inspection services on three SR 316 projects in Barrow County (Statements of Qualifications due August 17, 2026), the City of Santa Fe's FY26RFP035 for A/E services on Santa Fe Regional Airport Terminal Expansion (proposals due December 17, 2025, with site visit November 14, 2025 and pre-proposal meeting November 18, 2025), Broward County Transportation Department's TRN2131774P1 for consulting services supporting a six-corridor Bus Rapid Transit Program estimated at $30 million over five years (proposals due July 17, 2026), and Pinellas County, Florida's RFQ #26-0079-CCNAC for statewide stormwater GEC professional engineering services on a continuing contract basis (proposals due February 24, 2026). The code sees consistent demand from transportation and infrastructure-heavy jurisdictions using qualification-based selection under state and federal procurement frameworks; value engineering competency appears mandatory in prequalification lists for CEI and GEC roles, particularly on GDOT contracts, though standalone value analysis studies remain infrequent in the recent sample.
