Welded tube made of brass that has been bent

UNSPSC 40181601 Welded brass bent tube is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure brass and copper tubing products for water infrastructure maintenance, repairs, and facility operations. The scope covers brass service line fittings, accessories, tapping saddles for water systems, and copper tubing in specified gauges and lengths for distribution to maintenance warehouses and field operations. Issuing bodies include municipal water utilities, county water districts, and state facility management agencies. The City of Arlington, Texas and the Alameda County Water District in California represent recent purchasers in the water infrastructure sector; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Pasco County, Florida also appear in the recent opportunity set, though their specific product applications differ from the nominal code scope.
