NIGP 97108: Building, Fabricated, Pre-Fabricated or Pre-Manufactured, Rental or Lease

NIGP 97108, Building, Fabricated, Pre-Fabricated Or Pre-Manufactured, Rental Or Lease, is an Item code covering state and local governments' leasing of office, warehouse, medical, retail, and educational space, as well as facility activation and property management services. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies—state departments (California, Massachusetts, Florida), counties (Clay, Marion, Boulder), cities (Cambridge, Port Orange, Tempe, Gloucester), universities (University of Florida), school districts (Montgomery County Public Schools), and transit authorities (Utah Transit Authority)—leasing facilities ranging from 1,182 to 51,002 net usable square feet for operations spanning multiple years. The code captures traditional commercial real estate leases with landlord-provided build-to-suit improvements, gross lease structures with utilities and janitorial services included, and turnaround buildout scopes. Representative recent work includes the City of Cambridge's RFP for a police department facility lease (proposals due November 19, 2026), the Massachusetts Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance's solicitation for a 7,100-square-foot Cape & Islands District Attorney office in a five-town area (proposals due October 14, 2027, with turnkey construction and managed gross lease), and the State of California Department of General Services' multiple property-owner solicitations across the state for office, warehouse, and retail space. Work also includes Montgomery County Public Schools leasing unoccupied school buildings to community organizations and the University of Florida seeking build-to-suit medical office and education facilities.

California dominates recent activity, with the Department of General Services posting property inquiries for more than 25 state agencies across Sacramento, the Central Valley, Southern California, and coastal regions seeking office, warehouse, and retail space with standardized compliance requirements (asbestos-hazard-free, seismic safety, ADA, LEED or Energy Star preference, DVBE compliance). Massachusetts shows sustained multi-year leasing for state agencies and education institutions in Boston, Nantucket, and Western Massachusetts communities. Florida universities and counties are pursuing build-to-suit medical and administrative facilities with 10-year initial terms. The mix reflects both turnkey build-out scopes requiring landlord capital and leases of existing space; evaluation emphasizes location, financial terms, building condition, operating expense transparency, flexibility on lease renewal, and past performance references rather than price alone. Solicitations typically allow 30–120 days for response and include site visits and Q&A cycles.
