Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP) Manufacturing – 27” to 36” Diameter

The contract requires the manufacture of reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) sections in large diameters ranging from 27 inches to 36 inches, specifically 8-foot and 4-foot lengths, classified as Class III and Class IV for structural performance and load resistance. All pipe must meet the technical and quality standards set by ASTM C76 and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation specifications, ensuring durability, structural integrity, and compliance with state infrastructure requirements. The work involves precision manufacturing processes to guarantee consistency in wall thickness, reinforcement placement, and concrete mix design to withstand heavy soil and traffic loads in municipal and transportation applications. This is a subcontract opportunity posted by the Town of Fairhaven under the Massachusetts jurisdiction, with a solicitation date of May 1, 2026, and a firm deadline for responses on May 27, 2026. The NAICS code 327320 identifies the industry as concrete pipe manufacturing, indicating the scope is focused on production rather than installation or civil works. Vendors must be prepared to demonstrate capability in producing compliant RCP at scale, with quality control protocols, testing procedures, and supply chain logistics to support timely delivery. There is no set-aside designation outlined, meaning the contract is open to all qualified manufacturers regardless of business size or ownership profile.
