NIGP 65881: Pipe, Threaded

NIGP 65881 Pipe, Threaded, an Item code, encompasses supply and replacement of threaded pipe products used in municipal stormwater, sewer, and water infrastructure systems. State and local governments procure threaded pipe as both commodity supply (through standing IFB contracts with estimated five-year values approaching $28.7 million) and as a material component embedded in larger infrastructure replacement and rehabilitation projects. Recent solicitations show counties and cities sourcing PVC and ductile iron pipes, fittings, valves, and sewer system components with tiered delivery requirements ranging from emergency four-hour response to standard two-day lead times. Issuing bodies include county utilities divisions, city public works departments, and municipal stormwater management offices; Orange County, Florida appears as a repeat buyer, with separate solicitations for standing sewer pipe and fittings supply (IFB Y26-126, estimated five-year spend $28.7 million) and embedded procurement within larger infrastructure projects.
