I am looking at a commercial job. The owner has gotten plans from a designer who in turn is recommending there usual GC.
They have listed materials for the project. What I need help finding now are pipe displays.

Define "Pipe Displays".
The rack of plastic or copper at HoMe Depot?
The rack of Briars at the tobacco shop?
Display racks made from pipe?
Display racks made of pipe.
You need an elevation. IF there is an approved set of plans it should be on there. If not, call the archy & ask. IF this is for a national company you might think twice aboaut bidding this if you aren't familiar with commercial. they are ruthless in most cases and you will have trouble seeing your money for 30 days or more once you submit an invoice. Granted not all are like that ( we do take care of some items for a national truck stop that has checks waiting when we get there) but way too many are.
I am not entirely sure but I believe that I will be working directly with the owner.I have been so far.
Lots of different types of pipe racks and manufacturers.
What are you displaying?

Finally!
Unless you plan to build them yourself, your best bet is the Yellow Pages.
Look under "Store Fixtures".
Or go to http://www.barrdisplay.com
Use their free store planning and design service.
Definitely ask the owner & if they don't know ask the architecht. I fyou still don't get a satisfactory answer call a local distributor and get a midrange price. When you give your price specify very specifically what racks you are bidding. Don't forget to mark them up!
the net is full of "store display" manufactures most will sell dirrect but you might want to check "outwater" they have tons of display stuff
as for commercial work... i think it's a ton easier than res... bigger open spaces... usually a drop ceiling or exposed mechanicals... alot less nit picking... cause no one is live'n there
good luck

Thanks for everyones input. pontyl,
I couldn't agree with you more about commercial being easier.
I was just explaining that to a friend of mine(nobody lives there)
make sure you check your insurance policies. some charge higher rates on commercial . worth a call to your agent
