NIGP 99879: Pipe, Valves and Fittings, Sale of Surplus and Obsolete Items

NIGP 99879 Pipe, Valves And Fittings, Sale Of Surplus And Obsolete Items (Item) covers the supply of industrial pipe, fittings, and related equipment on ongoing or as-needed bases to support water, wastewater, stormwater, and aviation infrastructure operations across state and local jurisdictions. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying HDPE and PVC pipe in multiple diameters, fittings such as elbows and couplings, glue, hand tools, and specialized components for water distribution systems, wastewater mains, outfall piping, and stormwater drainage infrastructure. Work is distributed across cities and municipal utilities rather than concentrated in a single issuing-body type, with procurement offices at public works departments, water utilities, and aviation authorities driving activity. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department and Dallas Water Utilities emerge as repeat buyers; both have posted multiple opportunities for industrial pipe and fittings supply within the past four months.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southwest and South. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department posted two nearly identical industrial pipe and fittings solicitations—IFB 26-SW-0379 (due August 12, 2026) and IFB 27-SW-0447 (due September 30, 2026)—each seeking HDPE pipe from 1.5" to 24" diameter, PVC pipe from 0.75" to 4" diameter, applicable fittings, glue, and hand tools on three-year initial terms with two optional one-year extensions for Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and subordinate Phoenix aviation facilities. Both contracts require firm-fixed pricing with 24- to 48-hour delivery, local inventory maintenance, and DBE-N compliance under 49 CFR Part 26. Dallas Water Utilities solicited Water and Wastewater Main Replacements at 17 Locations (due June 5, 2026) involving DIP, PVC, HDPE water main, and 8–30" PVC wastewater main replacement across multiple council districts, with SBE participation required under the City's DRIVE Policy and Davis-Bacon wage compliance. The City of Palm Bay, Florida posted the I-95 Outfall Pipe Replacement project (due July 14, 2026) for replacement of outfall piping infrastructure with environmental permitting compliance, and issued a pre-solicitation RFI for stormwater pipe rehabilitation and replacement along the Malabar Road corridor (due June 9, 2026) seeking vendor input on design and construction methodologies.
