NIGP 65874: Pipe, Soil

NIGP 65874 Pipe, Soil 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 multiple diameters, along with fittings, couplings, elbows, and related installation materials—for water, stormwater, and drainage infrastructure on both as-needed supply contracts and project-specific replacements. Recent solicitations show purchasing departments and public works agencies buying these materials to support routine municipal operations, emergency infrastructure repair, and capital improvement projects in drainage, outfall replacement, and stormwater management corridors.

The City of Phoenix Public Works Department and City of Phoenix Aviation Department emerge as repeat buyers, having posted two parallel IFBs (IFB27SW0447 in September 2026 and IFB26SW0379 in August 2026) for three-year supply contracts with two optional one-year extensions covering HDPE pipe from 1.5 to 24 inches diameter and PVC pipe from 0.75 to 4 inches diameter, with firm-fixed pricing, 24- to 48-hour delivery, and local inventory maintenance requirements. The City of Augusta, Georgia solicited HDPE pipe and couplings in eight to 36-inch diameters for stormwater maintenance under ITB 27-116 (bids due September 29, 2026), with a one-year term and four optional one-year renewals and a local-bidder preference for projects under $100,000. Beyond routine supply contracts, the code captures project-specific piping work: Orange County, Florida requested bids for emergency bridge replacement at two locations (estimated cost $6,202,246.05, bids due July 7, 2026); the City of Palm Bay solicited bids for I-95 Outfall Pipe Replacement (ITB due July 14, 2026) and posted an RFI for stormwater pipe rehabilitation and replacement along the Malabar Road corridor (responses due June 9, 2026). Activity is concentrated in Florida, Arizona, Georgia, and California, with issuing bodies spanning city public works departments, airport authorities, county transportation and environmental departments, and municipal procurement offices.
