UNSPSC 40181506: Welded copper tube assembly

Welded tube assembly made of copper

UNSPSC 40181506 Welded copper tube assembly (Commodity) covers copper tubing and related fittings that state and local governments procure for water infrastructure, maintenance, and facility operations. Recent solicitations show mixed application: straightforward supply contracts for specific copper tubing products with strict brand and dimension requirements, alongside broader materials procurement for facilities maintenance and infrastructure rehabilitation. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span water districts, county corrections departments, and county public works agencies — a mix reflecting both utility operations and general facility management across multiple jurisdictions.

Activity concentrates in California and Texas. The Alameda County Water District (California) issued an IFB in April 2026 for specific Cambridge-Lee Industries copper tubing products totaling 8,000 feet across three size profiles, with bids due April 27, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted an IFB in March 2026 for copper tubing with an April 7, 2026 deadline, requiring compliance with Texas vendor preferences and E-Verify. Pasco County, Florida solicited large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate as an indefinite-quantity arrangement with proposals due June 26, 2026, though this opportunity appears misaligned with the code's nominal scope. A Santa Clara County (California) ITB for Central Expressway pavement rehabilitation posted in April 2026 includes pavement work but does not reflect copper tube assembly procurement.
