NIGP 28517: Conduit and Fittings, Fiber and Asbestos-Cement

NIGP 28517 Conduit and Fittings, Fiber and Asbestos-Cement is an Item code covering conduit systems, fittings, and related installation materials that state and local governments procure for water infrastructure, utility systems, and facility electrical work. Recent state and local solicitations show this code capturing demand for PVC and metal conduit systems, wire and cable protection components, and associated fittings used in both above-ground and underground utility applications. Issuing bodies include city governments, county authorities, school districts, and special-purpose districts such as airport authorities and consolidated municipal service areas. Columbus Consolidated Government has posted multiple electrical-related procurements in recent months, indicating steady utility and facility maintenance demand. City Colleges of Chicago, Gwinnett County Public Schools, Northside Independent School District, and Peachtree City Airport Authority represent additional repeat or significant issuing bodies across education, municipal, and aviation infrastructure sectors. Work being solicited ranges from routine on-call electrical installation and maintenance services with conduit and wiring components, to design-build site improvements incorporating extensive irrigation and drainage systems, to specialized air traffic control tower communications installations requiring precision cabling and conduit runs.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Florida, and Illinois in recent postings, with additional solicitation activity from Texas and bordering states. Representative recent opportunities include Collier County, Florida's NEUF Perimeter Fence, Irrigation, and Landscaping project (IFB, bids due October 8, 2026) scoping 26,000 linear feet of PVC-80 2-inch conduit and associated irrigation systems for a $3.4 million construction effort; the City of Port Wentworth, Georgia's Mobley Park Renovation (design-build RFP, responses due November 13, 2026) encompassing site drainage and irrigation improvements; City Colleges of Chicago's Electrical Low Voltage Job Order Contract (bids due October 21, 2026) for IT/AV systems and security installations across district facilities with a $5 million ceiling and prevailing wage requirements; and Columbus Consolidated Government's on-call electrical installation and maintenance services (RFP 27-0009, proposals due September 30, 2026) covering conduit repairs, wiring, and electrical component replacement across municipal buildings on a 24/7 basis. Cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell also appear, though the Law Enforcement Equipment RFP (#061626) does not explicitly detail conduit or electrical supply scope within available documentation.
