NIGP 65891: Tubing, Plastic and PVC

NIGP 65891 Tubing, Plastic and PVC is an Item code under which state and local governments procure PVC pipes, fittings, conduits, and related materials for water infrastructure, wastewater systems, and utility distribution networks. Recent solicitations show demand for PVC sewer pipes with couplings and fittings, PVC-coated metal conduits and conduit components, insulated PVC fittings for filter plants, and general utility parts and supplies that include plastic tubing. Issuing bodies span county governments (Gwinnett County and DeKalb County, Georgia; Palm Beach County, Florida), cities (Southlake, Texas), and special-purpose water authorities (Notla Water Authority, Georgia). Counties dominate the recent activity, reflecting the scale of wastewater infrastructure operations and multiyear supply agreements typical of county departments of water resources and public works.

Georgia and Florida show the strongest recent procurement activity under this code. Gwinnett County posted two separate IFBs and an informal written quotation for PVC conduit and fittings in September 2026. DeKalb County is actively seeking qualified suppliers for a three-year multiyear ITB on PVC sewer pipes, fittings, and couplings due October 7, 2026, to support wastewater and storm drainage maintenance on an as-needed basis. Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners is managing a term-contract pre-qualification vehicle (RPQ #26-022/JS) offering a 5 percent local preference for vendors with a permanent place of business in Palm Beach County or the Glades, with new vendor submissions accepted on a rolling basis through April 6, 2031. The City of Southlake, Texas posted an RFP in July 2026 for utility parts and supplies to be awarded to multiple vendors on a category basis, with responses due August 21, 2026. Activity patterns show multiyear supply contracts, as-needed ordering structures, and preference for pre-qualified or term-contract vehicles alongside traditional IFBs and RFPs.
