NIGP 96248: Interior Design/Decorator Services

NIGP 96248 Interior Design/Decorator Services is an Item code that encompasses landscaping and site beautification projects, seasonal décor installation and maintenance, and design-build services for civic facilities, based on what state and local governments are actively soliciting. The code captures work ranging from irrigation system upgrades and holiday lighting design to large-scale event center construction with integrated interior and exterior design elements. Issuing bodies include cities and municipalities of varying sizes, from smaller jurisdictions like DeBary to major urban centers like Orlando and Gainesville, all procuring through competitive bidding and design-build RFP structures.

Recent activity is concentrated in Florida, with three posted opportunities spanning irrigation improvements (City of DeBary, Bid 03-15, $90,000 estimated cost, 45-calendar-day completion window), seasonal holiday décor design and installation (City of Gainesville, RFP GCRA260039AF, July 6, 2026 response date), and a large-scale design-build event center project (City of Orlando, RFP26-0371, $61,000,000 total project budget, May 27, 2026 deadline, with VBE participation scoring and Davis-Bacon wage compliance required). The Orlando opportunity is the most capital-intensive, requiring responses by May 27, 2026, with design-build firms selected for presentations following Phase I deliverables at 30%, 50%, and 100% design stages, and anticipated construction documents completion by December 2026. These solicitations indicate active municipal investment in public realm improvements and civic infrastructure with interior and exterior design integration.
