NIGP 67006: Compound, Pipe Joint and Tape

NIGP 67006 Compound, Pipe Joint and Tape is an Item code under which state and local governments procure HDPE pipe, couplings, fittings, and related drainage infrastructure components for municipal water, stormwater, and wastewater systems. The City of Augusta, Georgia's ITB 27-116 for various HDPE pipe, coupling, and end sections illustrates the scope: the City is seeking single and double-walled HDPE pipes (8 inches to 36 inches diameter), couplings, flared end sections, tees, wyes, crosses, bends in multiple angles, headwall inlets, and ells for down-drain installation and maintenance on a one-year contract with four optional one-year renewals, with as-needed ordering and fixed pricing subject to up to three percent escalation at renewal dates. The City of Palm Bay's I-95 Outfall Pipe Replacement project (Bid #41ITB26, due July 14, 2026) demonstrates application to infrastructure remediation: the project encompasses removal and installation of replacement outfall piping in the Meadowbrook at I-95 location under State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection permits, governed by Clean Water Act compliance and coastal resource protections, structured as a lump-sum contract with liquidated damages for schedule non-compliance. Issuing bodies include municipal water and utilities departments, county public works offices, and transit or special-purpose districts managing stormwater and drainage infrastructure. Georgia and Florida jurisdictions anchor recent activity, with Palm Bay and Orange County, Florida both soliciting drainage and bridge infrastructure work in the past four months.

The code sees activity across municipal infrastructure maintenance and emergency replacement projects spanning the Southeast and beyond. The City of Palm Bay also issued an RFI (38RFI26, due June 9, 2026) to scope stormwater pipe rehabilitation and replacement solutions along the Malabar Road corridor, signaling early-stage planning for larger capital programs. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted RFP #061626 (due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental entities across the United States and Canada, though this represents an outlier from core pipe and drainage compound procurement. Augusta's ITB emphasizes minority and women-owned business enterprise program requirements with utilization plans and good faith efforts documentation, plus local-bidder preferences for awards under $100,000 when qualified local bids fall within ten percent or $10,000 of the lowest non-local bid. Delivery timelines typically run 60 days post-purchase order; firms unwilling to accommodate minimum order quantities are excluded from consideration.
