NIGP 17590: Tubing, Rubber, All Types

NIGP 17590 Tubing, Rubber, All Types is an Item code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code reflect laboratory testing services and lab information management systems rather than rubber tubing procurement. The City of Palm Bay, Florida issued Invitation to Bid 19-ITB-26 in April 2026 for comprehensive laboratory testing services supporting water, wastewater, groundwater, and industrial pretreatment program compliance, with 188 line items spanning water testing, wastewater testing, industrial pretreatment analysis, and courier and sampling services across three wastewater treatment facilities and two water treatment facilities. The contract requires bidders to hold Florida Department of Health Environmental Laboratory Certification Program certifications and NELAP accreditation, maintain a primary laboratory within one hundred miles of the City's North Regional Campus, and perform 75 percent of analytical work in-house; three bids were received, ranging from $80,872.00 to $107,946.10, with unit prices for individual analyses varying from $0 for calculated field measurements to $425 for specialized testing such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia analyses.
