NIGP 92670: Permitting Services, Environmental

NIGP 92670 Permitting Services, Environmental, Item code, encompasses professional services that state and local governments procure to advance environmental permitting, regulatory compliance, and related technical support across water quality, stormwater, wetlands, air quality, waste management, and site remediation activities. The recent solicitations under this code show state and local procurement offices buying land surveying and geotechnical engineering services; flood control and hydrologic design support; environmental assessment and permitting assistance; greenhouse gas verification and compliance documentation; construction permit plan reviews; and dam engineering, feasibility studies, and renewable energy project development tied to environmental compliance and permitting workflows. Issuing bodies range from county public works departments and flood control districts (Orange County, California, and Seminole County, Florida) to state environmental agencies (California High-Speed Rail Authority, Nevada Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Florida Department of Environmental Protection) to cities and special districts (New London, Connecticut; Detroit, Michigan; Atlanta Beltline; Santa Clara County). The Orange County Public Works Department and Orange County Flood Control District emerge as standout repeat buyers, appearing in over a dozen recent RFQs for multiple A-E disciplines tied to infrastructure and environmental compliance. Geographic concentration is heaviest in California (Orange County, Sacramento County, and statewide procurements) and Florida (Seminole County, Jacksonville area), with broader activity across Nevada, Georgia, Colorado, Connecticut, and the upper Midwest.

Recent representative opportunities typify the scope. The County of Orange Public Works Department issued RFQ RFQ0803060401MG (due July 21, 2026) establishing a Qualified Vendor List for land surveying and A-E services covering records research, GNSS surveys, topographic surveys, ALTA surveys, and boundary surveys—work to be assigned on a task-order basis with three-year terms and no guaranteed minimum volume, time-and-materials compensation, and prevailing wage compliance. In parallel, the County and Orange County Flood Control District issued RFQ 0803091002RE (due August 13, 2026) for flood control engineering services including hydraulic and hydrologic analyses, floodplain management, and design under California Design Manuals and FEMA specifications. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection solicited RFSQ16422 (due August 11, 2026) for engineering and environmental services supporting the Pensacola Bay Unpaved Roads Project, requiring Phase II design, stormwater management design, permitting support across multiple jurisdictions, and geotechnical analysis. The City of New London (Connecticut) sought RFQ 202617CONL (due July 31, 2026) for landscape architecture, civil engineering, and green infrastructure design services for Atlantic Street Park, a publicly funded community investment project funded through a Connecticut state grant with Davis-Bacon wage compliance triggering on construction phases. The State of Nevada issued RFP 70CNR-S3862 (due June 11, 2026) for permit writing assistance and programmatic support spanning air and water pollution control permits, compliance modeling, enforcement tools, and underground injection control—a $1,300,000 two-year contract with optional renewal. This code remains active in procurement with steady demand across infrastructure, water, waste, and environmental compliance domains, particularly in states with advanced environmental permitting frameworks and aggressive stormwater and capital improvement programs.
