NIGP 65896: Recycled Pipe and Tubing

NIGP 65896 Recycled Pipe and Tubing (Item) encompasses High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipe supply in diameters ranging from 0.75 inches to 36 inches, along with associated fittings, couplings, elbows, end sections, bends, and hand tools—sourced by municipal public works departments, aviation authorities, and county infrastructure agencies for as-needed distribution to support ongoing drainage, stormwater, and utility operations. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through three-year master supply agreements with two one-year renewal options or annual bid cycles, structured to enable rapid fulfillment (24–48 hours from purchase order) from local inventory and over-the-counter purchasing capability. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department and Phoenix Aviation Department have posted repeated IFBs for industrial pipe and fittings supply (IFB 27-SW-0447 in September 2026 and IFB 26-SW-0379 in August 2026), establishing Phoenix as a repeat buyer. The City of Augusta, Georgia posted an ITB for HDPE pipe, couplings, and end sections (ITB 27-116, due September 29, 2026) under a one-year plus four one-year renewal structure with local-bidder preference for awards under $100,000. Both Phoenix solicitations impose Disadvantaged Business Enterprise – Neutral (DBE-N) compliance and small-business participation plan requirements under FAA Grant Assurances; Augusta applies Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprise program requirements regardless of award value.

Recent activity concentrates in Arizona and Georgia, with secondary opportunities in Florida (Orange County bridge-replacement project Y26-742, Palm Bay I-95 outfall pipe replacement ITB 41ITB26 due July 14, 2026, and Palm Bay stormwater pipe RFI 38RFI26 due June 9, 2026) and California (Santa Clara County Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation project ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026). Phoenix and Augusta contracts require firm, fixed pricing for multi-year terms with minimal or no price escalation; contractors must demonstrate minimum five years' prior experience supplying similar goods, maintain certificates of insurance, comply with E-Verify and state work-authorization rules, and support monthly small-business participation tracking where applicable. The most active buyer is the City of Phoenix, with two near-consecutive supply agreements supporting three municipal airports and public works operations.
