NIGP 65854: Pipe, Non-Ferrous Alloy

NIGP 65854 Pipe, Non-Ferrous Alloy is an Item code under which state and local governments procure industrial piping systems and components for water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure projects. Recent solicitations show actual purchases of High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipe, ductile iron pipes, fittings (elbows, couplings, valves, air release valves), manhole components, and related supplies on both standing-supply and project-specific bases. The issuing bodies span cities (Phoenix, Palm Bay), counties (Orange County Florida, Santa Clara County California), and regional utilities departments, with Orange County appearing twice in recent opportunities. Work ranges from three-year supply contracts with 24- to 48-hour delivery requirements for as-needed inventory replenishment to large capital projects such as bridge replacements, outfall pipe replacement, and pavement rehabilitation corridors that integrate piping components as part of broader infrastructure work.
