NIGP 66560: Plastic Rods and Tubes (Except Acrylic)

NIGP 66560 Plastic Rods and Tubes (Except Acrylic), an Item code, covers extruded or molded tubular and rod-form plastic materials that state and local governments source for maintenance, repair, construction, and equipment applications. The code excludes acrylic stock but encompasses polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and other thermoplastic materials supplied in standard lengths and diameters for cutting and assembly into finished components. Jurisdictions procure these materials for water system repairs, plumbing infrastructure, HVAC ducting, cable management, and general industrial supply, either as standalone stock or as part of broader maintenance and construction contracts. Purchasing bodies include state departments of transportation, county maintenance operations, city public works and facilities departments, school districts, and transit authorities.

No recent state and local contract opportunities under NIGP 66560 appear in the available procurement record. This code sees minimal standalone solicitation activity; procurement typically occurs within larger material supply agreements, standing-offer contracts, or as line items in facilities maintenance and construction RFPs rather than as dedicated commodity requisitions.
