NIGP 65805: Pipe, Aluminum

NIGP 65805 Pipe, Aluminum is an Item code under which state and local governments procure industrial piping systems—primarily High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipe in diameters ranging from 0.75 inches to 36 inches, along with associated fittings, couplings, elbows, end sections, and hand tools—for municipal infrastructure, airport operations, stormwater management, and drainage projects. Recent solicitations show cities and counties purchasing these materials on as-needed supply contracts and for capital projects including bridge replacement, outfall pipe rehabilitation, and pavement rehabilitation work. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department and City of Augusta, Georgia emerge as repeat buyers, with Phoenix conducting separate three-year supply contracts for the Phoenix Aviation Department (serving Sky Harbor International, Deer Valley, and Goodyear airports) and Augustine seeking annual bids for stormwater and drainage materials.

Buying activity concentrates in Florida and Arizona, with recent opportunities from the City of Phoenix (two active three-year supply contracts with responses due September 30, 2026 under IFB 27-SW-0447 and previously under IFB 26-SW-0379), the City of Augusta, Georgia (ITB 27-116 for HDPE pipe and couplings, bids due September 29, 2026), Orange County, Florida (emergency bridge replacement project Y26-742 with estimated cost of $6,202,246.05, bids due July 7, 2026), and the City of Palm Bay, Florida (I-95 Outfall Pipe Replacement project 41ITB26, bids due July 14, 2026, and a pre-solicitation RFI on stormwater pipe rehabilitation along Malabar Road). Supply contracts typically require 24- to 48-hour delivery, local inventory maintenance, firm fixed pricing for multi-year terms, and compliance with DBE-N programs and local-preference provisions where applicable. Material specifications routinely reference compliance with state environmental rules (Georgia Erosion and Sedimentation Control Rules, Florida Environmental Resource Permit requirements) and federal standards including FAA Grant Assurances for airport operations.
