UNSPSC 40181601: Welded brass bent tube

Welded tube made of brass that has been bent

UNSPSC 40181601 Welded brass bent tube (Commodity) captures the supply of copper and brass tubing products that state and local governments procure for water infrastructure, facility maintenance, and industrial operations. The recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring copper tubing in both small and large quantities, with specifications ranging from specific brand-name products to commodity-grade materials. The issuing bodies span water districts, county departments, state agencies, and county governments pursuing straightforward goods procurement through IFBs and RFQs with firm delivery requirements and standard compliance certifications.

Activity is concentrated in California and Texas, with recent solicitations posted between April and June 2026. The Alameda County Water District issued an IFB on April 22, 2026, for three types of Cambridge-Lee Industries copper tubing totaling 8,000 feet across varying gauges and roll lengths, with bids due April 27, 2026, through the Bonfire Hub portal and delivery to Fremont required during specified warehouse hours. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted IFB IW245930 on March 23, 2026, for copper tubing with an April 7, 2026, bid deadline and standard Texas compliance requirements including E-Verify and Israel boycott prohibitions. Pasco County, Florida solicited as-needed supply of copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on June 3, 2026, with proposals due June 26, 2026. A separate Santa Clara County ITB for pavement rehabilitation posted April 29, 2026, appears to fall outside the code's scope, suggesting occasional tagging mismatches in state and local databases.
