NIGP 06045: Fittings (for Copper Tubing)

NIGP 06045 Fittings (For Copper Tubing), an Item code, covers copper tubing fittings and related pipe connectors that state and local governments procure for water distribution, HVAC systems, utility maintenance, and infrastructure repair. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing copper tubing supplies for direct operational needs, including water district inventory replenishment and municipal utility parts stocking. The issuing bodies span county water districts, city public works departments, and county purchasing offices. Scope of work centers on the physical supply and delivery of copper tubing products to support ongoing facility operations and field repairs rather than engineering design or installation services.

Activity under the code is sparse in the recent record. Alameda County Water District issued an IFB for copper tubing supply and delivery to its Fremont, California headquarters facility with a response deadline of September 10, 2026; the City of Southlake issued an RFP on July 24, 2026 for utility parts and supplies (due August 21, 2026) that encompasses fittings on a category basis alongside other utility components, with anticipated awards to multiple vendors. Geographic spread includes California and Texas. No contract values, incumbent vendors, specific product specifications, or quantity commitments are disclosed in the available solicitations.
