NIGP 65897: Tubing (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 65897 Tubing (Not Otherwise Classified), an Item code, covers specialized tubing supplies that state and local governments procure for water infrastructure, environmental sampling, and capital improvement projects. Recent solicitations show demand for replacement tubing components for water-treatment and sampling equipment, as well as broader infrastructure projects where tubing materials support pavement rehabilitation and drainage systems. The issuing bodies span county water departments and county transportation authorities, reflecting the dispersed nature of tubing procurement across municipal infrastructure operations.

Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources in Georgia and Santa Clara County in California represent the geographic spread of recent activity. Gwinnett County issued an RFQ in June 2026 for 400 units of pump tubing (manufacturer item 60-6700-062 or equivalent) for Avalanche Sampler equipment, with quotations due June 30, 2026, requiring FOB Destination delivery to the Central Facility in Lawrenceville and unit pricing inclusive of delivery charges. Santa Clara County issued an IFB in April 2026 for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project, due May 21, 2026, which included removal and replacement of inductive traffic loops and bioretention basin installation—work that incorporates tubing materials within a larger infrastructure scope. Both jurisdictions require responsive and responsible bidding with award determinations based on lowest price, and neither specified set-aside or preference designations in the posted summaries.
