NIGP 65891: Tubing, Plastic and PVC

NIGP 65891 Tubing, Plastic and PVC, an Item code, covers PVC pipe, fittings, and related plastic tubing products that state and local governments procure primarily for water infrastructure projects, utility system extensions, and service line replacements. The work being solicited includes PVC pipe and fitting supply and delivery under term contracts, as well as materials and labor for water main installations, system improvements, and service line replacement projects that incorporate PVC components as part of broader construction scope. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county purchasing departments, municipal water authorities, and county boards of commissioners, with repeat activity from Palm Beach County, Florida and multiple Georgia jurisdictions. Work is typically procured as materials supply on term contracts with pre-qualified vendor lists, or as part of larger sealed-bid construction projects where PVC pipe and fittings are embedded in the overall scope alongside labor and equipment.

Recent activity clusters in Florida and Georgia. Palm Beach County has issued multiple pre-qualification requests for PVC pipe and fittings supply with a sixty-month term contract and anticipated value of $1,510,000, seeking vendors to deliver products to four regional operation centers and maintain emergency twenty-four-hour delivery capability; the most recent posting is RPQ68026022JS3 with an initial submission deadline of February 20, 2026, and new vendors may submit pre-qualification requests at any time thereafter through April 6, 2031. Georgia water authorities are procuring PVC pipe as materials within larger construction projects: Notla Water Authority solicited sealed bids for water system improvements including 2,400 linear feet of 6-inch water line (due June 18, 2026); Bryan County Board of Commissioners solicited bids for approximately 14,350 linear feet of 30-inch water main with HDD and jack-and-bore operations (due March 31, 2026); and the City of Hogansville solicited bids for service line replacement on approximately 266 water services with galvanized service line replacement (due April 7, 2026).

Pre-bid meetings and mandatory site visits are typical for larger construction procurements; sealed bids are the standard notice type.
