UNSPSC 40181504: Welded copper multiport tube

Welded tube made of copper that has been multiported

UNSPSC 40181504 Welded copper multiport tube is a Commodity code covering copper tubing, fittings, and related brass water repair components that state and local governments procure for water system infrastructure, warehouse stock replenishment, and maintenance operations. State and local water districts, municipal water departments, and county facilities are the primary issuing bodies, though water-adjacent procurement appears across special districts and state correctional agencies. The work being solicited ranges from standard supply-and-delivery contracts for engineered copper tubing products (specified by type, diameter, and roll length) to indefinite-quantity arrangements for brass fittings, service line accessories, and tapping saddles for operational inventory. Recent solicitations show a mix of single-vendor fixed-quantity procurements and multi-vendor annual requirements or as-needed contracts, indicating that water systems manage copper supply through both dedicated supplier relationships and pooled standing arrangements.

Activity under the code concentrates in California and Texas, with secondary presence in Florida. The Alameda County Water District (Fremont, California) issued an IFB on April 22, 2026, for Cambridge-Lee Industries copper tubing in three specified product lines (2,000 feet of 3/4" Type K Soft in 100-foot rolls, 4,800 feet of 3/4" Type K Soft in 60-foot rolls, and 1,200 feet of 1" Type K Soft in 60-foot rolls), with bids due April 27, 2026, through the Bonfire Hub portal. The City of Arlington, Texas solicited an annual requirements contract (IFB 270041) for brass water repair parts—service line fittings, accessories, and tapping saddles—on September 23, 2026, with responses due October 22, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB (IW245930) for copper tubing with an April 7, 2026, deadline. Pasco County, Florida released an as-needed RFQ (RFQFP261004) for large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate, due June 26, 2026. Note that one Santa Clara County opportunity tagged under this code (ITBRDAFY260694, a pavement rehabilitation project) is unrelated to copper tubing procurement.
