NIGP 93462: Pipe and Pipe Fittings Maintenance and Repair

NIGP 93462 Pipe and Pipe Fittings Maintenance and Repair, an Item code, covers concrete work state and local governments are buying right now: removal and replacement of underground water service lines (plastic to copper), storm drain pipe rehabilitation using UV-cured CIPP lining, water transmission main installation, wastewater treatment plant piping systems, cooling tower basin and chiller piping modifications, and emergency repairs to boiler steam supply risers serving occupied housing. Issuing bodies span water utilities, municipalities, housing authorities, special taxing districts, and state health and human services agencies, with recent activity concentrated among town water commissions, city public works departments, and regional utilities managing aging water and wastewater infrastructure.

Recent opportunities reflect sustained demand for corrective and preventive piping work across multiple states. The Town of Waterford Utility Commission (Connecticut) posted IFB 26-014 in October 2026 for replacement of plastic water services with copper tubing on Rope Ferry Road, due November 12, 2026, with a 25 percent subcontractor set-aside for DAS-certified small and minority-owned businesses and Connecticut prevailing wage requirements; the City of South Jordan (Utah) issued IFB 2026030 in October 2026 for storm drain pipe lining along Yorkshire Drive using UV-cured CIPP installation, due October 21, 2026, with liquidated damages of $500 per day for late completion; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017386 in July 2026 for underground water piping removal and replacement at San Angelo State Supported Living Center, due July 24, 2026, subject to a mandatory VetHUB subcontracting plan with 26–32.9 percent utilization goals; and the Harrisburg Housing Authority (Pennsylvania) issued IFB 2026-08 in June 2026 for boiler steam supply line riser repairs across 24 building rows, due August 1, 2026, with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage and HUD Section 3 employment benchmarks of 25 percent for Section 3 workers. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Florida (multiple Central Florida Tourism Oversight District solicitations for chiller and cooling tower work), Connecticut, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Utah, with additional activity in California, Georgia, and Michigan. The code sees regular activity from utilities, municipalities, and special-purpose districts managing water, wastewater, and facility infrastructure, with contract values ranging from under $50,000 to over $6 million for large transmission main and treatment plant projects.
