NIGP 21029: Culverts, Corrugated Metal (incl. Well Casing Pipe)

NIGP 21029 Culverts, Corrugated Metal (Including Well Casing Pipe) is an Item code that covers the supply and installation of corrugated metal culvert products and related pipe systems for municipal drainage, stormwater management, wastewater systems, and infrastructure rehabilitation. State and local governments procure corrugated metal culverts in multiple configurations—full-round pipe ranging from 12 inches to 90 inches in diameter, precast concrete box culvert sections, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) alternatives, and ductile iron pipe fittings—typically as components of pavement rehabilitation projects, bridge and culvert replacement initiatives, water treatment facility construction, and stormwater or wastewater system upgrades. Recent solicitations show counties and municipalities issuing ITBs and RFPs for culvert products on both as-needed and annual-contract bases, with individual projects ranging from single-location replacements under $1 million to multi-phase infrastructure programs.

Issuing bodies span counties, cities, regional water authorities, state departments of transportation, and special districts across the Southeast, Midwest, and Western regions. Gwinnett County, Georgia appears frequently as a repeat buyer, soliciting stormwater pipe annually; Seminole County, Florida and Orange County, Florida issue multiple infrastructure and wastewater contracts; and state DOTs in Illinois, Oregon, Wisconsin, and Arizona regularly procure culverts for highway and bridge work. Representative recent opportunities include Illinois Department of Transportation's FY27 metal corrugated culverts IFB (B-52848, due July 9, 2026), Gwinnett County's stormwater pipe annual contract (BL079-26, bids due May 19, 2026 for corrugated metal full-round pipe ranging 54 to 90 inches), Dane County, Wisconsin's as-needed culvert supply bid (2026-RFB-001, 154 line items across corrugated metal and polymer configurations), and Seminole County's wastewater pump station R&R master service agreement (CC710026HSMA, bids due August 5, 2026) which includes pump station rehabilitation and related piping work. Smaller jurisdictions including the Town of Farragut, Tennessee and City of Kingman, Arizona solicit precast concrete culvert sections for targeted replacement projects, while utilities authorities like the City of Palm Bay source high-density polyethylene water and sewer pipe for distribution system construction. The code sees active procurement across Florida, Georgia, Wisconsin, Arizona, Oregon, Illinois, Mississippi, Nevada, California, and Massachusetts, with highest recent volume in the Southeast and Midwest. Most contracts structure pricing on delivered unit-price or lump-sum bases with FOB destination freight prepaid; domestic-product preferences and MassDOT or WisDOT prequalification requirements appear in multiple solicitations. No incumbent vendors or set-aside concentrations are named across the recent opportunities.
