NIGP 65884: Pipe, Titanium

NIGP 65884 Pipe, Titanium (Item) describes state and local procurement of industrial piping materials and components, though recent solicitations show that the code is being used to buy high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe, couplings, elbows, fittings, and related drainage and stormwater infrastructure components rather than titanium pipe specifically. State and local agencies soliciting under this code include city public works departments, county transportation and drainage authorities, and municipalities managing airport, aviation, and stormwater assets. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department and City of Phoenix Aviation Department have posted multiple IFBs for three-year supply agreements covering HDPE pipe ranging from 1.5 to 24 inches in diameter, PVC pipe from 0.75 to 4 inches, fittings, glue, and hand tools on an as-needed basis with 24- to 48-hour delivery requirements and local inventory maintenance obligations. Suppliers must quote firm-fixed pricing on an FOB-destination basis and maintain downloadable product catalogs and emergency after-hours contact capability.

Recent activity spans Arizona, Georgia, and Florida, with Phoenix generating repeat volume through stacked three-year supply contracts (IFB 26-SW-0379 due August 12, 2026 and IFB 27-SW-0447 due September 30, 2026, both with December 1, 2026 effective dates). The City of Augusta, Georgia issued ITB 27-116 for various HDPE pipe, couplings, and end sections (8 to 36 inches diameter) with bids due September 29, 2026 under a one-year term with four optional one-year renewals; this procurement applied Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprise requirements and local-bidder preference for awards under $100,000. The City of Palm Bay, Florida posted a lump-sum ITB (Bid #XX-ITB-25) for the I-95 Outfall Pipe Replacement project with bids due July 14, 2026, and an earlier RFI (38RFI26) on May 12, 2026 seeking vendor input on stormwater pipe rehabilitation and replacement solutions along the Malabar Road corridor. Orange County, Florida solicited bids for emergency bridge replacement (Y26-742) with an estimated cost of $6.2 million due July 7, 2026, and Santa Clara County issued an ITB for Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard with bids due May 21, 2026, neither of which specified piping procurement detail in the available summary.
