NIGP 96760: Plumbing Equipment, Pipe, Fittings and Fixtures Manufacturing Services

NIGP 96760 Plumbing Equipment, Pipe, Fittings and Fixtures Manufacturing Services, an Item code, encompasses the supply and delivery of plumbing materials, industrial pipe, fittings, valves, and related components that state and local governments procure to support facility maintenance, water and wastewater operations, and construction projects. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipe, elbows, couplings, glue, hand tools, and miscellaneous water and wastewater system parts on an as-needed basis through master supply agreements, blanket orders, and on-call service contracts. The issuing bodies span city public works departments, counties, independent school districts, water utilities, and municipal parks departments. Cities of Phoenix, Palo Alto, and Tucson, Broward County, Pinellas County, and Fulton County Schools appear as recent solicitors. On-call plumbing services contracts—which pair materials supply with labor-based repair and maintenance work—are also active, with issuing bodies including San Mateo County Parks, Fort Bend Independent School District, and multiple Texas municipalities.

Geographic activity concentrates in Arizona (Phoenix Public Works issuing multiple three-year industrial-pipe solicitations with DBE-neutral compliance), Texas (Fort Bend ISD, City of Schertz, San Jacinto Community College District, and Galveston County), Florida (Broward County water and wastewater, Pinellas County, Palm Bay, and Orange County), California (San Mateo County Parks, Palo Alto Utilities), and Georgia (Forsyth County water/sewer, Gwinnett County water resources). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Public Works Department issuing IFB 27-SW-0447 for industrial pipe, miscellaneous fittings, and equipment on a three-year term with two optional one-year extensions commencing December 1, 2026, with sealed bids due September 30, 2026; Broward County issuing an open-end FEMA-compliant pipe and valve maintenance and installation services contract (OPN2132461B1, proposals due October 21, 2026) with a 35 percent County Business Enterprise participation goal; and Fort Bend Independent School District requesting proposals under RFP 26-065AR for plumbing parts, materials, maintenance, and repair services in two independent categories (products only versus labor-based services) with proposals due October 21, 2026. Prevailing-wage requirements apply in several states, and DBE, SBE, and local-preference programs feature prominently in jurisdictions with federal or state small-business mandates.
