UNSPSC 40181505: Welded copper chamfered tube

Welded tube made of copper that has been chamfered

UNSPSC 40181505 Welded copper chamfered tube is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure primarily as industrial and utility supplies for infrastructure maintenance, water distribution systems, and facility operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring copper tubing and copper-based chemical products under this code. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Alameda County Water District, and Pasco County, Florida represent the issuing-body mix, spanning state departments, county water agencies, and county facilities operations. The scope of work encompasses routine purchases of specific copper tubing products (Type K soft copper in multiple diameters and footage specifications), chemical supplies (large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed basis), and related materials supporting facility infrastructure. Vendors responding to these opportunities must comply with standard state and local procurement requirements including suspension and debarment verification, E-Verify compliance where applicable, and firm pricing terms; the TDCJ procurement explicitly requires 30-day price holdback and requires bidders to possess Texas Identification Numbers and Federal Employer Identification Numbers.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and California. The Alameda County Water District issued an IFB on April 22, 2026, for Cambridge-Lee Industries brand copper tubing (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 and delivery required to its Fremont, California headquarters facility. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted IFB IW245930 for copper tubing on June 18, 2026, with bids originally due April 7, 2026, following standard TDCJ procedures with F.O.B. destination delivery required. Pasco County, Florida solicited copper sulfate supplies (both crystalline and liquid forms) on an as-needed basis with proposals due June 26, 2026, under RFQFP261004. The code shows modest but steady purchasing activity among utility districts and state corrections infrastructure operations.
