NIGP 65819: Pipe, Bonded (All Types)

NIGP 65819 Pipe, Bonded (All Types), an Item code, covers the supply of bonded piping materials that state and local governments procure for infrastructure maintenance, replacement, and emergency projects—principally high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe in sizes ranging from 0.75 inches to 36 inches in diameter, along with associated fittings, couplings, elbows, and related accessories. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers treating this code as an as-needed supply vehicle for routine stormwater and drainage infrastructure work as well as for emergency pipe replacement projects. Issuing bodies include city public works departments (Phoenix, Palm Bay, Augusta), county transportation and drainage agencies (Orange County, Santa Clara County), and airport authorities (Phoenix Aviation Department), with multi-year term structures (typically three years with optional renewals) and firm-fixed pricing requirements that remain constant across the contract term or permit only modest escalation (up to three percent) at renewal dates with advance notice.

Recent activity spans Arizona, Georgia, and Florida, with the City of Phoenix appearing as a repeat buyer soliciting industrial pipe supplies twice within recent months—IFB 27SW0447 and IFB 26SW0379, both due in September and August 2026 respectively, requiring 24- to 48-hour delivery from local inventory and serving multiple airport facilities. The City of Augusta, Georgia issued ITB 27-116 (due September 29, 2026) for various HDPE pipe, couplings, and end sections for down-drain installation with a one-year term and four optional renewals, subject to local-bidder preferences and minority/women-owned business enterprise utilization requirements. The City of Palm Bay, Florida conducted multiple stormwater-related procurements: a sealed-bid ITB for I-95 Outfall Pipe Replacement (due July 14, 2026) and an earlier RFI on stormwater pipe rehabilitation along Malabar Road (due June 9, 2026) seeking vendor input on rehabilitation methodologies. Orange County, Florida solicited emergency bridge replacement (estimated cost $6.2 million, bid due July 7, 2026) and Santa Clara County solicited pavement rehabilitation including drainage infrastructure work (bids due May 21, 2026). Contractors must typically maintain local inventory, provide after-hours emergency contact, achieve E-Verify compliance, and demonstrate five years of prior experience in similar goods supply.
