NIGP 67052: Pipe Repair Clamps, Couplings, Leak Kits, etc.

NIGP 67052 Pipe Repair Clamps, Couplings, Leak Kits, Etc., Item code, encompasses water and wastewater distribution materials—PVC and HDPE pipes with fittings, couplings, saddles, clamps, valves, and leak detection services—that state and local water utilities, counties, cities, and school districts procure on both as-needed and annual contract bases for infrastructure maintenance, emergency repairs, and capital projects. County water departments and municipal utilities dominate the solicitation activity, with DeKalb County, Georgia appearing as a repeat buyer under three separate multiyear contracts posted since July 2026. The recent opportunities reflect steady demand across water service components (quick insertion valves, corporation stops, service saddles), pipe materials (PVC sewer pipe, HDPE drainage pipe), and specialized services such as leak detection and pipe rehabilitation consulting. Pricing is typically firm for initial contract terms with capped escalation at renewal, and many jurisdictions impose delivery windows of 60 to 90 days and require compliance with materials approval lists and American Iron and Steel or Buy American Act provisions.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with additional solicitations from New Jersey and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include DeKalb County's ITB 2026-118 for PVC sewer pipes, fittings, and couplings (due October 7, 2026) under a three-year multiyear contract for as-needed wastewater and stormwater maintenance; the City of Augusta, Georgia's ITB 27-116 for HDPE pipe, couplings, and end sections (due September 29, 2026) spanning ten product categories across 8- to 36-inch diameters with local-bidder preference and MWBE program application; Pinellas County School District's ITB #26-CD-036 for leak detection services (due September 29, 2026) with estimated annual value near $75,000 and requirements for 24/7 emergency response and non-destructive testing methods including acoustic, thermal imaging, and ground-penetrating radar; and the City of Marietta, Georgia's BL121-26 for water service saddles, couplings, clamps, and valves on an annual contract (due September 22, 2026). DeKalb County also issued ITB 2026-034 for quick insertion valves, tapping sleeves, and gate valves (due August 27, 2026) on a three-year multiyear vehicle.
