NIGP 95296: Urban and Regional Development Services

NIGP 95296 Urban and Regional Development Services, an Item code, encompasses planning, feasibility, and master plan development services that state and local governments solicit to guide growth, redevelopment, and infrastructure investment across districts, corridors, and urban centers. State and local issuers are procuring scope ranging from comprehensive downtown and neighborhood master plans to specialized studies on water resources, transportation circulation, market conditions, and development impact fees—work that directly informs zoning updates, capital planning, and economic development strategies. Recent solicitations show the code capturing broad planning work across multiple issuing-body types: cities (Dallas, Moab, Scottsdale, Sarasota, Corinth, Bridgeport, Brownsville, Frisco, Flowery Branch, Santa Cruz, West Jordan, South Salt Lake), counties (Bernalillo, Orange, Sarasota, Pasco, Gwinnett, Washoe), transit and special-purpose authorities (Atlanta Beltline Inc., Housing Authority of Alameda, Harrisburg Housing Authority), state procurement offices (Oregon, Washington, California, Nevada), and cooperative purchasing consortiums (H-GAC). Activity concentrates in Texas, California, Florida, Georgia, and the Mountain West states (Utah, Nevada, Colorado region), with secondary clusters in the Midwest and Northeast.

Representative recent opportunities reflect the code's scope: the City of Dallas issued RFP BIZ2600030973 (due August 7, 2026) for pre-development and development services for a mission-critical 911 Emergency Communications Center redevelopment using Texas Government Code Section 271.908; the Housing Authority of the City of Alameda posted RFP 2026RFPAS005 (due August 11, 2026) for as-needed consulting across nine service areas including housing development, tax credit, and procurement consulting; the City of Moab issued RFQ 2606 (due July 28, 2026) for Downtown Master Plan consolidation work with a $50,000 fixed budget; the City of Atlanta Department of Parks & Recreation solicited SOQ/GS/DPR/2605-1260218 (due June 17, 2026) for community-based forestry services; and Pasco County posted RSQ-LK-26-065 for general planning consultant services across eight categories (economic analysis, communications, design, land use, development regulations, multimodal transportation, site development, and planning grants) on a five-year multi-contract vehicle. The code sees steady activity across RFP, RFQ, ITN, and IFB notice types, with response windows typically eight to twelve weeks and evaluation weighting heavily toward team qualifications, project approach, past performance, and community engagement capacity. Set-asides vary by jurisdiction—some solicitations carry DBE, MBE, WBE, or local-vendor preferences; others are open competition. This is an active, geographically dispersed market with consistent demand for specialized urban planning, infrastructure analysis, and development strategy work tied to comprehensive plan updates, zoning modernization, and brownfield or mixed-use redevelopment.
