NIGP 65896: Recycled Pipe and Tubing

NIGP 65896 Recycled Pipe and Tubing is an Item code that encompasses municipal procurement of plastic and metal piping systems, fittings, and related components used in water, sewer, stormwater, and drainage infrastructure replacement and rehabilitation projects.

Orange County, Florida and the City of Palm Bay, Florida each appear as repeat buyers in recent activity, with Orange County Utilities Division procuring sewer pipes and fittings under a five-year term contract and Palm Bay soliciting outfall pipe replacement and stormwater pipe rehabilitation services.
