NIGP 65883: Pipe, Tin

NIGP 65883 Pipe, Tin is an Item code that covers the supply of plastic and metal piping materials—primarily high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe in various diameters, along with associated fittings such as elbows, couplings, bends, and tees—procured on an as-needed basis by municipalities and counties for stormwater drainage, outfall replacement, and general infrastructure maintenance. Recent state and local solicitations show demand concentrated among city public works departments and county infrastructure programs serving water management, airport operations, and transportation projects. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department and aviation authority have posted multiple IFBs for three-year supply agreements covering HDPE and PVC pipe with fittings and hand tools, requiring 24- to 48-hour delivery from purchase order and maintained local inventory. The City of Augusta, Georgia has solicited ITB 27-116 for HDPE pipe, couplings, and end sections (8 inches to 36 inches diameter) on an as-needed basis for down-drain installation and maintenance. Suppliers must meet firm-fixed pricing for the full contract term, provide over-the-counter purchasing capability, maintain downloadable product catalogs, and support emergency after-hours contact.

Activity in the code concentrates in Florida and Arizona, with secondary presence in Georgia and California. The City of Phoenix has issued multiple procurements under this code; the City of Augusta, Georgia; Orange County, Florida; the City of Palm Bay, Florida; and Santa Clara County, California have also solicited recently.
