NIGP 65943: Extensions, Pipe

NIGP 65943 Extensions, Pipe is an Item code capturing state and local procurement of industrial piping infrastructure — primarily high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe in diameters ranging from 0.75 inches to 36 inches, along with associated fittings, couplings, elbows, wyes, bends, and related installation materials. State and local governments buy under this code both as routine supplies on as-needed bases through multi-year agreements and as project-specific materials embedded in construction contracts for sewer rehabilitation, drainage infrastructure, and outfall systems. Issuing bodies include city public works departments (Phoenix, Augusta, Palm Bay), county sanitation and transportation agencies (Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3), and municipal procurement offices with authority over airports and wastewater systems. Phoenix Public Works has issued multiple solicitations under this code in recent months, signaling sustained institutional demand.

Recent activity is concentrated in Arizona (City of Phoenix), Georgia (City of Augusta), California (Santa Clara County), and Florida (Orange County, City of Palm Bay). The City of Phoenix Public Works Department issued two consecutive IFBs for industrial pipe, miscellaneous fittings, and equipment—IFB 26-SW-0379 (due August 12, 2026) and IFB 27-SW-0447 (due September 30, 2026)—both three-year terms with two optional one-year extensions commencing December 1, 2026, covering supply to Phoenix Aviation Department across three airport locations with DBE-N compliance, 24- to 48-hour delivery requirements, and local inventory maintenance obligations.
