NIGP 65874: Pipe, Soil

NIGP 65874 Pipe, Soil, an Item code, covers industrial and utility piping systems—HDPE, PVC, and ductile iron pipes with associated fittings, valves, and manhole components—that state and local governments procure for stormwater, sewer, outfall, and drainage infrastructure replacement and rehabilitation. Recent activity shows cities and counties acquiring these materials both as standing supply contracts and as project-specific components within larger capital improvement programs. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department is sourcing HDPE pipe (1.5 to 24 inches diameter) and PVC pipe (0.75 to 4 inches diameter) with fittings, glue, and hand tools under a three-year as-needed supply contract with an IFB due August 12, 2026, requiring 24- to 48-hour delivery and local inventory maintenance. Orange County, Florida procured PVC and ductile iron pipes, fittings, valves, air release valves, and manhole components under a five-year IFB (Y26-126, response deadline January 22, 2026) with an estimated five-year value of approximately $28.7 million, applying Service Disabled Veteran Business preference tiers and delivery windows from four hours for emergency orders to two calendar days for standard delivery. Issuing bodies include municipal public works departments, county utilities divisions, county parks departments, and special water management districts operating across the continental United States.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Florida, where Orange County's utilities division and the City of Palm Bay have posted multiple procurement actions. The City of Palm Bay is executing the I-95 Outfall Pipe Replacement project (ITB 41ITB26, bids due July 14, 2026) involving removal and installation of outfall piping under Florida Department of Environmental Protection permits, and previously conducted an RFI (38RFI26, responses due June 9, 2026) on stormwater pipe rehabilitation and replacement solutions along the Malabar Road corridor in Brevard County. The County of San Mateo Parks Department issued an RFP (2026RFP00308) for the Flood Park Restroom A Sewer Line Replacement, replacing approximately 130 linear feet of 6-inch vitrified clay pipe with new HDPE or PVC SDR 35 pipe (proposals due February 12, 2026, with local business preference applied). Santa Clara County solicited bids for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITBRDAFY260694, bids due May 21, 2026) including pavement, curb, and related infrastructure work. Activity spans California, Florida, and Arizona, with Florida utilities procurement and emergency bridge and water infrastructure projects representing the current dominant activity stream.
