NIGP 65985: Tees (Other Than Steel)

NIGP 65985 Tees (Other Than Steel), an Item code, encompasses pipe fittings and related materials that state and local governments procure as components of water and sewer infrastructure projects. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying service connection wyes, sanitary sewer tees, and related pipe fittings as part of larger mainline replacement, pipe-burst rehabilitation, and sewer extension work. The code draws bids from county sanitation districts, county public works departments, and utility authorities executing infrastructure modernization and structural repair programs. Issuing bodies include Sanitation District No. 2-3 in Santa Clara County and Pinellas County, Florida—both regional infrastructure authorities managing sewer and water system rehabilitation at scale.

Activity concentrates in California and Florida, with the most recent opportunities posted in mid-to-late 2026. Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 issued ITB ITBRDAFY270088 on August 26, 2026 (due September 17, 2026) for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, which specifies removal and replacement of twenty-seven 4"×6" wyes, two 4"×8" wyes, and two 4"×10" wyes as part of a thirty-five-point-repair and five mainline pipe-burst replacement program. Pinellas County, Florida issued IFB 260652ITBC on October 12, 2026 (minimum qualification submittal due October 13, 2026, final bids due November 5, 2026) for coordinated sewer and water main improvements including six 4-foot diameter manholes and related service connection work across two project IDs totaling 380 calendar days of performance. Both procurements reflect ongoing municipal and county investment in aging infrastructure replacement in water and sanitary sewer systems.
