Recent solicitations reveal state and local purchasing focused on cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) and geopolymer lining systems for stormwater and wastewater rehabilitation, ductile iron and PVC water main replacement over multiple linear feet, large-diameter valve and thrust-block systems, quick insertion valves for pressurized pipelines, and force-main design and permitting coordination. Issuing bodies include utility commissions and water/sewer authorities (Town of Waterford Utility Commission, Orange County, Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources, Calhoun Utilities, BJWSA, Great Lakes Water Authority, Columbus Water Works), counties (Marion County, Citrus County, Collier County, DeKalb County, Pinal County), and cities (Phoenix, South Fulton, Lawrenceville, Brownsville, Dallas, Arlington, Sandersville, Owensboro). Repeat buyers include Orange County, Florida (six solicitations spanning storm water pipe lining, septic tank retrofits, trail utility improvements, and bridge replacements) and Gwinnett County, Georgia (three water main projects). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Orange County, Pasco County, Marion County, Citrus County, Flagler County), Georgia (Gwinnett County, DeKalb County, City of Lawrenceville, City of Augusta), and Texas (City of Dallas, City of Arlington, Calhoun County, City of Brownsville, City of Cibolo), with additional activity in Connecticut, California, Arizona, Michigan, South Carolina, Kentucky, and Maryland.
