NIGP 65852: Pipe, Magnesium

NIGP 65852 Pipe, Magnesium, an Item code, covers the supply of industrial piping products and related fittings that state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis for infrastructure maintenance, drainage, and utility applications. Recent solicitations show that actual purchasing under this code centers on high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe in diameters ranging from 1.5 to 36 inches, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe from 0.75 to 4 inches, and associated fittings such as elbows, couplings, wyes, tees, and bends. Issuing bodies span city public works departments, county transportation and infrastructure agencies, and municipal aviation departments. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department and City of Phoenix Aviation Department emerge as repeat solicitors, posting multiple IFBs for three-year supply contracts with optional one-year renewals. Smaller municipalities and counties also participate in the market—the City of Augusta, Georgia and the City of Gluckstadt, Mississippi have solicited pipe and related materials for drainage infrastructure. Contractors must typically maintain local inventory, deliver within 24 to 48 hours of purchase order receipt, provide firm-fixed pricing for multi-year terms, and comply with DBE-N programs and E-Verify employment verification where federal funding is present.

Recent solicitation activity concentrates in Arizona and Georgia. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department posted IFB27SW0447 for industrial pipe supply (offers due September 30, 2026) covering HDPE and PVC pipe, fittings, glue, and hand tools for the three Phoenix airports on a three-year initial term with two optional one-year extensions. The City of Augusta, Georgia issued ITB 27-116 for HDPE pipe, couplings, and end sections (bids due September 29, 2026) covering single and double-walled pipe from 8 to 36 inches diameter and associated fittings for drainage maintenance under a one-year base term with four optional one-year renewals. Both solicitations apply MWBE and local-vendor preference programs, require delivery within 60 days or less of purchase order receipt, and specify fixed pricing with limited escalation. Florida municipalities are also active; the City of Palm Bay issued RFI 38RFI26 in May 2026 seeking vendor input on stormwater pipe rehabilitation and replacement solutions along Malabar Road and released ITB 41ITB26 for I-95 Outfall Pipe Replacement project work due July 14, 2026.
