NIGP 95862: Irrigation System Management Services

NIGP 95862 Irrigation System Management Services, an Item code, covers on-call and ongoing maintenance, repair, installation, and upgrade work on irrigation infrastructure at municipal parks, sports complexes, golf courses, educational facilities, wastewater treatment plants, and other public properties. State and local governments buy replacement of irrigation valves and controllers, pump station rehabilitation, smart irrigation system upgrades with remote monitoring capability, seasonal winterization and start-up services, irrigation system evaluations to optimize water use, emergency response repair work, and comprehensive grounds and landscape maintenance that includes irrigation zone inspections and system troubleshooting by licensed irrigators.

The code attracts a broad mix of issuing bodies across city, county, state, and special-purpose district procurement offices, with standout recent activity from the Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County (Georgia), which posted multiple valve-replacement bids; municipal parks and recreation departments; colleges and universities; transit authorities; and water districts. Geographic concentration of recent posting activity spans Florida (Collier County, Orange County, City of Pembroke Pines, City of Altamonte Springs, City of St. Petersburg), Georgia (Athens-Clarke County, Columbus Consolidated Government, City of Savannah, Georgia World Congress Center Authority), Texas (Houston City College, City of Lubbock, North Texas Municipal Water District, Fort Worth Housing Solutions, Texas State Technical College, City of Richardson), California (Tuolumne County, County of Orange), and secondary activity in Arizona, Missouri, Maryland, New Jersey, Oregon, and Utah. Representative recent opportunities include the Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County issuing a re-bid for irrigation valve replacement at Holland Youth Sports Complex (IFB, bids due November 18, 2026, estimated $50,000 to $60,000); the Georgia World Congress Center Authority soliciting Calsense irrigation controller upgrades at two Atlanta-area facilities (RFP, proposals due October 7, 2026); Houston City College requesting landscaping, grounds, and irrigation maintenance across 19 campuses (RFP, proposals due October 20, 2026, estimated annual spend $1 million); Clackamas County, Oregon soliciting sealed bids for the Stone Creek Golf Course irrigation replacement project (IFB, bids due June 2, 2026, engineer's estimate $3 million to $5 million); and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services establishing Mobile Irrigation Lab services for agricultural irrigation system evaluations across 30 northern Florida counties (RFP, proposals due June 4, 2026). Irrigation management contracts frequently include local vendor preferences, DBE-neutral or regional small-business set-asides, prevailing wage compliance, and multi-year terms with optional renewal periods; many require licensed irrigators, five-year experience thresholds, comprehensive insurance, and equipment certifications specific to the irrigation control platform being deployed.
