NIGP 21027: Connecting Bands, Corrugated Metal

NIGP 21027 Connecting Bands, Corrugated Metal is an Item code that covers corrugated metal connectors and bands used primarily in sewer and water infrastructure repair and replacement work. State and local governments procure these components as part of broader sanitation district and public works projects involving pipe installation, replacement, and rehabilitation. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are county sanitation districts, county boards of commissioners, and county public works departments, with activity concentrated in California and Georgia. Work scopes typically embed corrugated metal bands and connectors within larger capital projects rather than as standalone procurements, making them subordinate line items within infrastructure rehabilitation contracts rather than primary solicitation focuses.

Recent opportunities reflect this integration pattern. Santa Clara County's sanitation district posted an ITB (ITBRDAFY270088) due September 17, 2026, for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, encompassing thirty-five sanitary sewer mainline point repairs, pipe-burst replacements, and mainline extensions using PVC and HDPE pipe with associated fittings and connection components. A second Santa Clara County ITB (ITBRDAFY260694) issued in April 2026 for Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard included curb, gutter, and roadway infrastructure work that would incorporate corrugated metal components. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued a competitive sealed bid (PE77023NONST2026000000496) in April 2026 for 108-inch slide gates for the Lanier Filter Plant, representing water infrastructure procurement. Cherokee County Board of Commissioners posted a request for competitive sealed bids (PE77123NONST2027000000137) in July 2026 for concrete and asphalt crushing services. Opportunities in this code remain tied to larger capital construction and rehabilitation contracts rather than appearing as discrete material purchases, limiting direct visibility to corrugated metal band procurement timing and volume.
