NIGP 65889: Tubing: Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Alloy

NIGP 65889 Tubing: Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Alloy is an Item code covering metal tubing products used in state and local infrastructure and maintenance projects. Based on recent solicitation activity, state and local governments procure ferrous and non-ferrous tubing as component materials within broader construction and infrastructure rehabilitation contracts. Counties represent the primary issuing body for tubing-related procurement under this code, though the tubing itself typically appears as a line item within larger pavement, utility, or roadway projects rather than as a standalone commodity purchase.

Santa Clara County issued ITB ITBRDAFY260694 on April 29, 2026, for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard in San Jose, California, with bids due by 2:00 p.m. on May 21, 2026. The project scope includes partial depth recycling, hot mix asphalt overlay, PCC curb and gutter installation, guardrail system replacement, traffic signal modifications, and installation of bioretention basins—work that incorporates tubing as structural and utility components. Physical bids were required at the County Government Center; electronic submissions were not accepted. The project timeline spans 142 working days commencing 30 to 45 days after award. Recent procurement activity under this code is concentrated in California, with Santa Clara County visible as an active buyer in infrastructure rehabilitation work.
