The state of Virginia, specifically Clarke County, is seeking procurement for a infrastructure-related contract (UIFB # 160130) involving Aluminized Metal Arch Pipe and Bands. The procurement requires 56.00 linear feet of 137-inch x 87-inch Aluminized Corrugated Metal Arch Pipe and Bands, indicating a specific infrastructure or drainage improvement project. The solicitation was posted on September 8, 2025, with a submission deadline of September 12, 2025, presenting a relatively tight response window for potential vendors.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, typical state and local contracts in Virginia often include preferences for small businesses, local vendors, or disadvantaged business enterprises. The procurement's focused specification suggests a targeted acquisition with potentially limited competitive field due to the precise technical requirements. No incumbent vendor information or current contract details are provided in the original documentation. The budget range and potential contract value are not specified, which means interested vendors would need to contact Clarke County's procurement office directly for additional financial details. Given the specific technical nature of the aluminized metal arch pipe procurement, vendors will likely need specialized manufacturing capabilities and proven experience in producing infrastructure-grade corrugated metal piping systems.
