NIGP 92593: Traffic and Transportation Engineering

NIGP 92593 Traffic and Transportation Engineering, an Item code, encompasses design, planning, and engineering services for roadway corridors, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, traffic signals, intersection improvements, transit infrastructure, and related transportation system projects that state and local governments are actively procuring. Recent solicitations show state and local bodies buying preliminary and final design plans, construction documents, traffic engineering analysis, safety improvements, multimodal facility design, environmental documentation, construction administration, and specialized studies including travel demand modeling and independent cost estimating for capital projects ranging from single intersections to regional corridor initiatives.

The code sees activity across state departments, metropolitan planning organizations, county and municipal public works departments, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts. Georgia Department of Transportation, Orange County California Public Works, and city transportation and planning departments appear as frequent repeat buyers. Recent representative opportunities include the Town of Parker, Colorado soliciting roadway and bridge design services (RFQ 26027, due November 14, 2026); Cobb County Department of Transportation requesting design services for a pedestrian bridge under GDOT prequalification requirements (RFQ B2464, due November 12, 2026); the City of Cleveland issuing a $1,000,000 active transportation quick-build design contract with Ohio ODOT prequalification mandatory (RFP 2025RFP158, due November 11, 2026); and the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission seeking transit route analysis and microtransit integration services for Massachusetts (RFP BD271126PLANNBERKC134462, due November 20, 2026). Geographic concentration is evident in California (Orange County, San Mateo County, City of Hayward), Georgia (GDOT, Cobb County, City of Atlanta, City of Peachtree Corners), Colorado (Town of Parker), Texas (City of Houston, City of Lewisville, City of Dallas), and Florida, with additional activity across Massachusetts, Arizona, Oregon, South Carolina, and other states. Qualifications-based selection under Brooks Act and similar state frameworks dominates; most awards follow two-phase processes (qualifications shortlist, then technical approach and interviews from finalists). Mandatory professional licensing, GDOT or state transportation prequalification, federal compliance including Davis-Bacon and prevailing wage, and DBE/SBE participation goals are standard requirements.
