NIGP 96189: Weatherization Audit Services

NIGP 96189 Weatherization Audit Services is an Item code under which state and local governments procure comprehensive facility and asset assessments, including physical needs audits, energy efficiency evaluations, and inventory documentation across municipal properties, housing portfolios, and transportation infrastructure. The work involves identifying, evaluating, and documenting buildings, structures, equipment, and systems; analyzing energy conservation measures and payback periods; and delivering findings in formats usable for capital planning and compliance with federal housing regulations. Issuing bodies include city housing authorities, municipal departments of transportation, and municipal utilities and public services departments. Contracts typically run one to three years with renewal options and require respondents to demonstrate three or more years of relevant experience, hold professional certifications (such as energy audit credentials), maintain professional liability and general liability insurance, and comply with federal prevailing-wage, Section 3 employment, and disadvantaged-business-enterprise requirements when federal funding streams are involved.
