NIGP 13510: Brick, Sewer

NIGP 13510 Brick, Sewer is an Item code that encompasses sewer system materials and components—primarily PVC gravity sewer mains, force mains, and associated infrastructure—that state and local water and wastewater utilities procure for septic-to-sewer conversions, system rehabilitation, and new utility construction. Recent solicitations show counties and regional water authorities buying precast utility vaults, pressure-reducing valves, and large-diameter sewer pipe for projects serving residential neighborhoods and institutional facilities. The work typically bundles material supply with installation and integration into existing SCADA systems and utility networks. Issuing bodies are county water departments and utility authorities managing wastewater infrastructure across multiple jurisdictions.

Orange County, Florida and Deschutes County, Oregon represent the geographic activity in recent postings. Orange County issued an IFB for the Wekiwa Springs Septic Tank Retrofit Ph 5A project (solicitation Y26707, due January 15, 2026) with an estimated cost of $4,664,610.00, calling for 3,417 linear feet of 8-inch PVC gravity sewer mains, 755 linear feet of 4-inch PVC force mains, and a 133-gallon-per-minute duplex pump station serving approximately 63 single-family homes. Bidders were required to demonstrate three references in submersible public raw wastewater pump station construction, force main installation, and gravity sanitary sewer installation, with electronic submission through the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform and a non-mandatory pre-bid conference on November 24, 2025. Deschutes County, Oregon posted an IFB for the Galveston Ave Pressure Reducing Valve Replacement and Pedestrian Crossing project (solicitation 273212, due September 23, 2026) with an engineer's estimate of $415,511, including a new 6-inch pressure reducing valve in a precast utility vault with associated piping and ancillary valves. Activity in this code is concentrated in large county infrastructure projects with substantial engineering and utility integration scope.
