NIGP 65916: Bands

NIGP 65916 Bands, an Item code, covers specialty fastening and joining materials used in infrastructure repair and construction projects. State and local governments solicit under this code primarily for sewer and water infrastructure rehabilitation, pavement work, and related utility projects where bands, straps, and securing hardware are integral to the scope. The issuing bodies are predominantly county sanitation districts and county transportation or public works departments managing large-scale infrastructure programs. Work typically encompasses material supply and installation as part of broader construction or rehabilitation contracts rather than as standalone fastening procurements.

Santa Clara County has posted multiple infrastructure rehabilitation projects in recent months that reference banding and related components. County Sanitation District No. 2–3 issued ITB ITBRDAFY270088 in August 2026 for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, a sewer mainline rehabilitation program due September 17, 2026, involving removal and replacement of vitrified clay pipe with polyvinyl chloride and high-density polyethylene pipe, service connection fittings, and new precast concrete sanitary sewer manholes across unincorporated Santa Clara County foothills. Santa Clara County also issued ITB ITBRDAFY260694 in April 2026 for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard, due May 21, 2026, encompassing partial depth recycling, hot mix asphalt overlay, pavement repairs, Portland cement concrete curb and gutter installation, ADA access improvements, and traffic signal modifications across a major county corridor. Both solicitations required physical bid submission to the County Government Center in San Jose. Activity under this code is concentrated in California, specifically Santa Clara County, based on recent postings.
