NIGP 95296: Urban and Regional Development Services

NIGP 95296 Urban and Regional Development Services, an Item code, encompasses master planning, feasibility analysis, economic development strategy, and site-entitlement services for publicly owned or community-anchored properties undergoing mixed-use redevelopment, adaptive reuse, or revitalization. State and local governments soliciting under this code are seeking consultants to conduct land-use studies, circulation and mobility analysis, infrastructure nexus studies, affordable housing entitlement and development coordination, downtown revitalization strategies, and public-private partnership structuring—work grounded in planning frameworks that align development with comprehensive plans, zoning ordinances, and public-benefit objectives. Cities, counties, and redevelopment authorities are the dominant issuing bodies; representative recent opportunities span Florida (Ocala, New Smyrna Beach, Doral, Collier County), Georgia (DeKalb County, Statesboro), Utah (West Jordan, South Salt Lake, Summit County), California (Santa Cruz, San Mateo, Sacramento), Connecticut (New Haven, Bridgeport), and Maryland (Wicomico County). The City of Ocala has posted multiple parallel ITNs for affordable housing development on distinct parcels within its West Ocala Community Redevelopment Area, indicating sustained municipal activity in coordinated site development.

Representative solicitations include the Utilities Commission, City of New Smyrna Beach, Florida requesting proposals (RFP 15-26, response date July 16, 2026) for planning, entitlement, and conceptual master planning of a 600-acre Western Utility Complex with separately awardable components for public parcel delivery and private parcel entitlement strategy; Collier County Board of County Commissioners issuing an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN 26-8679, response date October 14, 2026) for development or disposition of a 6.86-acre property offering Track A (affordable housing development under Florida's Live Local Act) or Track B (outright purchase); and DeKalb County soliciting proposals (RFP 2026-094, response date October 30, 2026) to update a 1,900-acre Livable Centers Initiative Master Plan in partnership with the Atlanta Regional Commission, with Davis-Bacon compliance and First Source Jobs Ordinance requirements. Cities and counties frequently layer state-level set-asides (DBE, HUBZone equivalents) with local preferences (Collier County applied 5-point local vendor and certified MBE/WBE preferences; DeKalb imposed First Source resident-hiring and federal work-authorization requirements). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, Utah, and California, with additional 2026 solicitations from Colorado (Bend Urban Renewal Agency), Texas (Dallas, UTSA, Orange County workforce development), Oregon (Bend), and Connecticut (New Haven, Bridgeport).
