NIGP 65984: Tees, Steel

NIGP 65984 Tees, Steel is an Item code representing steel tee fittings and connectors used in piping and structural applications procured by state and local governments. The code captures steel tee products — T-shaped pipe fittings, structural steel tees, and related junction components — sourced for infrastructure maintenance, water and wastewater systems, HVAC installations, and general construction projects. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state transportation and public works departments, county public utilities and facilities divisions, cities and municipalities managing water and stormwater systems, and school districts performing facility maintenance and upgrades. Activity is distributed across multiple jurisdictions rather than concentrated among a few repeat buyers.

The most recent state and local opportunity identified in the search is Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project, ITB ITBRDAFY260694, posted April 29, 2026 with a bid due date of May 21, 2026. While the primary scope centers on pavement rehabilitation, hot mix asphalt overlay, and related roadway improvements, the project's comprehensive nature likely incorporates underground utility work and drainage system modifications where steel tee fittings would be specified as part of material supply requirements. The ITB solicitation structure and physical bid submission requirement are typical for California county infrastructure work. No specific geographic concentration is evident from the single recent opportunity available; state and local procurement under this code spreads across regions with active infrastructure and utilities spending, particularly in states with aging water and stormwater infrastructure requiring replacement or rehabilitation.
