NIGP 65990: Vees (V)

NIGP 65990 Vees, an Item code, encompasses the structural pipe, fittings, and connectors that state and local governments procure for water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure rehabilitation and new construction. Recent solicitations show counties and special districts buying vitrified clay pipe (VCP) replacements with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe stock, service connection fittings such as wyes in multiple diameters, precast concrete sanitary sewer manholes, and related appurtenances for mainline and lateral sewer work. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county sanitation districts and county transportation or public works departments managing regional infrastructure projects.
