NIGP 69089: Tubing and Fittings, Power Plant

NIGP 69089 Tubing and Fittings, Power Plant is an Item code covering tubing, fittings, connectors, and related components for power-generation and industrial thermal systems. State and local governments solicit under this code primarily for infrastructure projects involving steam generation, boiler systems, waste-to-energy facilities, and large thermal plants where high-pressure or high-temperature piping networks are integral to operations. Issuing bodies include special-purpose authorities managing utility infrastructure and county governments overseeing public facilities. The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County appears as a significant buyer, currently soliciting tubing and fitting work as part of a broader integrated demolition, design, build, operate, and maintain (DDBOM) contract for a new mass-burn waste-to-energy facility with three 850-ton-per-day boilers.

The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County posted RFEI 27-501 on September 11, 2026, requesting Letters of Interest for the new waste-to-energy facility, with submissions due November 18, 2026. The project encompasses demolition of the existing PBREF 1 facility, design and construction of new mass-burn infrastructure including boiler systems and air pollution control equipment, and long-term operation and maintenance over a potential 20+ year period. An informational conference is scheduled for October 21, 2026, and an industry day with facility tours is planned for December 10, 2026. The Authority intends to award a single EPC-type integrated contract and requires prime contractors to hold Florida licensure for design-build services under Florida Statutes. Recent activity in this code is limited; the DeKalb County Tennis Center reconstruction ITB posted in June 2026 addresses IT and low-voltage infrastructure rather than power-plant tubing systems, indicating sparse direct tubing-and-fittings solicitation activity among the recent records.
