NIGP 65804: Pipe, Alloy Steel, Chrom-Moly, Stainless

NIGP 65804 Pipe, Alloy Steel, Chrom-Moly, Stainless (Item) covers industrial and infrastructure piping materials and related fabrication work that state and local governments procure for water systems, sewer infrastructure, stormwater management, natural gas pipelines, and heavy construction projects. Recent solicitations show substantial procurement activity across municipal utilities, county infrastructure departments, and state higher-education institutions, with work spanning pipe supply contracts, fabrication services, and emergency infrastructure replacement. The code captures both commodity supply (pipes, fittings, valves, and related materials delivered on as-needed or scheduled bases) and fabrication services tied to specific capital projects. Issuing bodies include county utilities departments, city public-works and procurement offices, municipal water and sewer authorities, and university system purchasing units. Orange County, Florida appears as a repeat buyer, with separate recent solicitations for sewer pipes and fittings and bridge replacement work; the City of Palm Bay, Florida is active in stormwater and outfall pipe replacement; and municipal water and sewer operations in Florida (Volusia County) and Georgia (City of Lawrenceville) round out the recent buyer base.
