NIGP 65809: Pipe, Asbestos-Cement

NIGP 65809 Pipe, Asbestos-Cement is an Item code representing piping materials and replacement work state and local governments procure for water, wastewater, stormwater, and utility infrastructure projects. Recent solicitations under this code show counties and cities buying industrial and specialized piping—including HDPE, PVC, ductile iron, and concrete pipe—as part of broader construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation efforts for treatment plants, drainage systems, bridges, parks, and road corridors. The code captures both standalone pipe-supply agreements and embedded pipe procurement within full-scope construction contracts.

Collier County, Florida dominates recent activity, issuing multiple ITBs and IFBs for water-treatment facilities, boardwalk repairs, and sports-complex construction where piping specifications are integral to project scope. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department has posted repeated IFBs (IFB 26-SW-0379 and IFB 27-SW-0447) for three-year industrial pipe and fittings supply contracts commencing December 1, 2026, covering HDPE (1.5" to 24" diameter) and PVC (0.75" to 4" diameter) with 24- to 48-hour delivery requirements and local inventory maintenance mandates. The City of Augusta, Georgia issued ITB 27-116 (due September 29, 2026) for HDPE pipe, couplings, and end sections for stormwater down-drain work under an as-needed, one-year-with-four-renewal structure with a Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprise requirement. Orange County, Florida posted an emergency bridge-replacement project (Y26-742, bid due July 7, 2026, $6.2 million) that includes utility drawings and specifications incorporating piping systems. The City of Palm Bay, Florida's I-95 Outfall Pipe Replacement (ITB due July 14, 2026) specifically mandates removal and installation of replacement pipe infrastructure under State environmental permits. Georgia and Florida currently show the strongest concentration of recent solicitations, with secondary activity in Arizona, California, and Texas. Contractors pursuing this code face firm-fixed pricing, rapid-turnaround delivery expectations, compliance with ASTM, FDOT, and EPA standards, and increasingly stringent environmental and permit-driven scope constraints.
