NIGP 91060: Plumbing Maintenance and Repair (Includes Pressure Tapping Services, Pipe Freezes, Toilets, etc.)

NIGP 91060 Plumbing Maintenance and Repair (Item) encompasses reactive repair, maintenance, and emergency response work on domestic water systems, sanitary sewers, fixtures, and associated infrastructure across state and local facilities — the work state and local governments actually solicit under this code today. Recent opportunities show municipalities, counties, school districts, universities, and special-purpose entities (transit authorities, detention centers, utility commissions) issuing as-needed service contracts, job order contracting vehicles, and task-order agreements for plumbing work spanning routine fixture replacement and drain clearing through emergency two-hour response commitments and specialized services such as backflow prevention assembly testing and medical gas line work.

Activity concentrates in Georgia (Henry County, Glynn County, Forsyth County, Savannah-Chatham County schools, Middle Georgia State University), Texas (Austin, TxDOT Paris and Brownwood districts, Texas A&M University, Brenham SLSC, MD Anderson Cancer Center), Connecticut (Bridgeport, Waterford, New Haven schools), and Florida (Orange County Transportation Authority, San Mateo County Parks, Orlando Utilities Commission, Fort Myers), with additional opportunities in Ohio, Illinois, Oregon, Arizona, and Michigan. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Austin RFP 2200-MLJ3013 (residential and commercial plumbing services including grease interceptor and galvanized line replacement for approximately 780 properties, proposals due November 5, 2026); Cuyahoga County Department of Public Works ITB 7313 (emergency plumbing services on an as-needed basis, not-to-exceed $100,000 over three years, two-hour response requirement, October 13, 2026 deadline); Henry County, Georgia RFP 27-20 (annual plumbing services contract with 24/7/365 availability and one-hour emergency response, proposals due October 21, 2026); and Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools RFQ C27-07 (prequalification of contractors for on-call small construction projects under $250,000 including plumbing trade, proposals due November 19, 2026). Pricing in these opportunities typically combines hourly labor rates stratified by classification (Master, Journeyman, Helper/Apprentice) and service type (standard, overtime, holiday, emergency) with markup caps on materials ranging from 10 to 20 percent; contract terms run one to three years with renewal options, and many jurisdictions award multiple vendors to ensure service continuity and backup capacity.
