UNSPSC 40181600: Welded brass tubes

Tubes made of welded brass

UNSPSC 40181600 Welded brass tubes is a Class code covering copper tubing, brass fittings, and related copper-based piping products that state and local governments procure for water systems, facility maintenance, and infrastructure projects. The work being solicited under this code spans straightforward goods procurement — copper tubing stock in specified gauges and lengths, lead-free brass fittings for water distribution systems, and bulk chemical supplies such as copper sulfate for municipal operations. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include water districts, county governments, city departments of public works, and state corrections agencies, with no single buyer dominating recent activity.

Recent activity shows geographic spread across California, Texas, Florida, and Massachusetts. The Alameda County Water District issued an IFB on April 22, 2026, for copper tubing in three specified types and quantities to its Fremont headquarters, with bids due April 27, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited copper tubing through IFB IW245930, with a bid deadline of April 7, 2026. The City of Brockton, Massachusetts Department of Public Works requested bids on lead-free brass fittings due June 4, 2026, requiring material composition certifications and lead-free compliance documentation. Pasco County, Florida issued an RFQ for large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed basis with a June 26, 2026 proposal deadline. A fourth opportunity — Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB due May 21, 2026) — appears mistagged to this code; the solicitation concerns roadway rehabilitation and is unrelated to the brass tubing and copper piping scope.
