NIGP Code 914-68 — Plumbing and Pipefitting Trade Construction Services — is a standardized State, Local, and Education (SLED) procurement classification within Class 914 — Construction Services, Trade (New Construction) of the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Commodity/Services Code taxonomy. Across all 50 states, over 33 state central purchasing offices and thousands of county governments, municipal utilities, public university systems, transit authorities, and K-12 school districts obligate approximately $3.2 Billion annually under NIGP 914-68, generating 480+ Bids active Invitations for Bid (IFBs), Requests for Proposals (RFPs), and informal quote requests each year. The NIGP taxonomy uses a hierarchical structure where the 3-digit Class (914) identifies the broad commodity or service family (Construction Services, Trade (New Construction)) and the 5-digit Class-Item code (914-68) pinpoints the specific construction (plumbing) deliverable. When state and municipal buyers post solicitations on portals such as New York NYSCR (Wicks Law Plumbing Prime), Texas ESBD, Illinois BidBuy, and New Jersey NJSTART, automated bid invitations are dispatched exclusively to vendors who have added NIGP Class 914 and Item 914-68 to their supplier registration profiles.
