NIGP 96248: Interior Design/Decorator Services

NIGP 96248 Interior Design/Decorator Services is an Item code encompassing the design and styling of interior spaces for state and local government facilities. State and local procurement offices are buying professional design services that span space planning, color and material selection, furniture coordination, furnishings procurement, and installation oversight—work grounded in recent solicitations that range from seasonal holiday décor in downtown districts to comprehensive multi-year workspace renovations across municipal office buildings and specialized airport facilities. Issuing bodies include municipalities (cities of Gainesville, Orlando, Arlington, Cincinnati, and DeBary), county governments (Clay County, Orange County), airport commissions (Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport), and public higher-education institutions (Mt. San Antonio College). The scope extends to design-build event-center services, dog-park facility design, sheriff's office interior renovations, and fixed-base-operator lounges at municipal airports. Recent solicitations reflect a mix of capital project support and specialized interior optimization work across administrative, civic, and operational facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Texas, with secondary representation in Georgia, Ohio, and California. The City of Orlando appears twice in the recent-opportunity block—once for a $61 million design-build event center (RFP26-0371, due May 27, 2026) and once for a dog-park facility design-build (IFB26-0024, bid due March 26, 2026). Other representative recent opportunities include the City of Cincinnati's request for Workspace Planning & Design Services across 75,000 square feet of municipal facilities with a $13 million total project budget (RFP 265X901123, due April 8, 2026); the Savannah Airport Commission's redesign of its 630-square-foot Credentialing Office (RFP 2026-0014, due April 15, 2026); the City of Arlington's interior design request for an airport fixed-base operator facility (RFQ26-0207, due April 23, 2026); Clay County's interior renovation of its Sheriff's Office Building 500 (IFB 25/26-061, due March 30, 2026); and Mt. San Antonio College's on-call FFE Coordination Services over a five-year term (RFQ 2026-015, due October 3, 2025). Most recent solicitations are posted as RFP, RFQ, or IFB vehicles with response windows between four and six weeks. Evaluation often weights project approach and firm experience equally against pricing and design quality, and several procurements mandate subcontracting goals for MBE and WBE participation or offer preference points for local and small-business certifications.
