UNSPSC 40181501: Welded copper bent tube

Welded tube made of copper that has been bent

UNSPSC 40181501 Welded copper bent tube is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure copper tubing, brass fittings, and related copper or brass components for water infrastructure maintenance, repair, and operational stock. The work ranges from standby supplies for warehouse inventory to project-specific deliveries, typically involving standard product specifications with no or limited substitution allowance. Issuing bodies span water districts, county and municipal water utilities, state agencies, and local government maintenance departments. The opportunities show a straightforward goods-procurement mix with minimal customization — vendors supply catalog or near-catalog items to established specifications and quantities, often with firm pricing and prepaid freight terms.

Recent activity clusters in Texas and California, with the City of Arlington, Texas (brass water repair parts, October 22, 2026 IFB response date), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (copper tubing, April 7, 2026 IFB), Alameda County Water District in California (Cambridge-Lee Industries copper tubing in multiple roll lengths and gauges, April 27, 2026 IFB response date), and Pasco County, Florida (copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate, June 26, 2026 RFQ response date) representing the most recent postings. The Santa Clara County pavement rehabilitation project (May 21, 2026 IFB) appears tagged to this code but involves heavy highway construction rather than tubing or fitting procurement. Water districts and state procurement offices dominate the issuing-body roster; contracts typically run on annual or indefinite-quantity terms with single or multiple-award structures, F.O.B. destination delivery, and 30-day payment cycles from invoice or delivery, whichever is later.
