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 that covers the supply of specialty copper tubing products to state and local agencies. Recent state and local solicitations show that governments buy specific quantities and configurations of copper tubing — ranging from Type K soft copper in various diameters and roll lengths to large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate — for infrastructure maintenance, water systems, and facility operations. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments of criminal justice, county water districts, county governments, and other local agencies. The work involves straightforward goods procurement with firm pricing, delivery to specified locations, and standard compliance certifications including E-Verify, debarment verification, and accessibility documentation.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas and California. The Alameda County Water District in California issued an IFB on April 22, 2026, for 2,000 feet of 3/4" Type K soft copper tubing in 100-foot rolls, 4,800 feet of 3/4" Type K soft copper in 60-foot rolls, and 1,200 feet of 1" Type K soft copper in 60-foot rolls, with bids due April 27, 2026, through the Bonfire Hub portal; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted an IFB (IW245930) for copper tubing on March 23, 2026, with a bid deadline of April 7, 2026, to its Accounts Payable office in Huntsville, requiring firm pricing for 30 days and F.O.B. destination delivery. Pasco County, Florida, solicited copper sulfate products (both crystalline and liquid) on an as-needed basis with an RFQ due June 26, 2026. No specific contract award values or budget ranges are disclosed in available documentation, and Texas procurement includes consideration for state-based vendors under 34 TAC Rule 20.306.
