NIGP 91377: Maintenance and Repair, Pipe Culvert

NIGP 91377 Maintenance And Repair, Pipe Culvert is an Item code describing state and local procurement for replacement, repair, and stabilization of underground and open-channel culvert systems — primarily concrete box and reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) culverts serving stormwater, water main, and sewer infrastructure. Recent solicitations show municipalities and counties replacing corrugated metal pipe (CMP) culverts with modern concrete systems, performing slip-out bank stabilization, conducting point repairs to damaged pipe sections, and installing associated wingwalls, headwalls, and appurtenances. State and local governments buying under this code include county boards of commissioners, city departments of water resources and public works, county flood control districts, and special-purpose districts. Repeat buyers include Fayette County, Georgia (three separate culvert replacement ITBs since July 2026), Clackamas County, Oregon, San Mateo County, California, and Harris County Flood Control District. Work spans new culvert installation (typically 80–160 linear feet of reinforced concrete pipe per project), replacement of failed corrugated metal systems, concrete wingwall and headwall extensions, erosion and sediment control, asphalt pavement restoration, and associated utility coordination. The code also encompasses indefinite-quantity, on-call contracts for recurring small stormwater infrastructure repairs priced by unit rate or task order, as seen in Paulding County, Georgia's FY 2027 offering.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee) and Pacific West (California, Oregon), with secondary activity in Texas and Midwest jurisdictions.
