NIGP 89030: Manholes, and Manhole Covers, Frames, Grates, Rings, Yokes, etc.

NIGP 89030 Manholes, And Manhole Covers, Frames, Grates, Rings, Yokes, Etc., Item code, covers precast concrete and cast-iron manhole access infrastructure, rings, covers, frames, grates, and risers that state and local utilities, public works, and water agencies procure for water, wastewater, stormwater, and utility system construction and rehabilitation projects. The code draws activity across city public works departments, county water resources and utilities divisions, regional wastewater authorities, and special-purpose districts pursuing underground utility replacement, system rehabilitation, and infrastructure hardening initiatives across the United States, with heavy concentration in Georgia, Texas, California, and Florida jurisdictions over the past six months.

Recent opportunities span the full scope of work state and local agencies source under this code. The City of Austin Energy issued an IFB on July 28, 2026, for precast concrete manholes in multiple configurations (6' × 6', 12' × 12', 6' × 8' × 5' cable vaults, and grade concrete rings in 36-inch and 48-inch diameters) with 24-month initial term and three optional 12-month extensions, requiring ASTM A-615, ASTM C-478, ASTM C-858, and ACI 318 compliance and manufactured delivery within seven calendar days of placement, with a Small Business Preference Program applying. The City of Roseburg Public Works Department issued an IFB due August 4, 2026, for storm damage repair including two storm drain manholes and 57 lineal feet of 18-inch storm drain pipe under a 90-day construction window. Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources requested informal written quotations due June 30, 2026, for two manhole risers (60-inch diameter, 5-feet tall) and six bolt-down manhole covers on an as-needed basis. The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County issued an ITB due May 6, 2026, for rehabilitation of 26 manholes, 13 detection stations, and 5 sanitary lift stations using Warren Environmental solvent-free, 100% solids epoxy coatings, with a 2-year initial period and one optional 1-year renewal. DeKalb County and Gwinnett County both maintain active annual or multiyear requirements contracts for manhole sections, rings, covers, and precast drainage structures with delivery expectations of 14 days or less from order. The City of Houston, City of Dallas Water Utilities, the City of Jackson, and Provo City Corporation all posted solicitations in recent months for precast concrete pipe, storm drain materials, ready-mix concrete with manhole components, and related underground utility infrastructure including manhole risers, covers, and accessories, reflecting sustained baseline procurement across major municipal water and wastewater systems.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia (Gwinnett County, DeKalb County, City of Marietta, Bryan County, City of Hagan), Texas (City of Dallas, City of Houston, City of McKinney, Dallas Water Utilities, City of Austin, Provo City near Utah border), and Florida (City of Palm Bay, Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County, City of Hayward, Dorchester County). Oregon, California, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, and other states show lighter but consistent activity. Issuers range from state transportation departments (California) to county water authorities and regional sewerage bodies, with water utilities, public works departments, and stormwater management divisions as primary buying offices. Set-asides appear sporadically; the City of Austin applied a Small Business Preference Program, Dallas Water Utilities implemented DRIVE Policy SBE participation goals, and the City of Palm Bay and Fort Myers applied DBE/MBE provisions, but many procurements carry no formal set-aside language. Delivery timelines vary widely—most precast and casting suppliers face 7- to 14-day lead times for standard items, while construction rehabilitation projects allow 90 to 180 calendar days. Award values are not disclosed in most solicitations; activity spans small as-needed buys (individual risers, covers, grates) through major infrastructure programs (water main and wastewater replacement at multiple city locations) with total base budgets reaching $12 million for combined drainage and paving work.
