UNSPSC 40181602: Welded brass pierced tube

Welded tube made of brass that has been pierced

UNSPSC 40181602 Welded brass pierced tube is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure copper and brass tubing products for water distribution, facility maintenance, and specialized infrastructure applications. Recent solicitations show purchasing activity centered on copper tubing supply, ranging from specific branded products to general-purpose tubing in various gauges and roll lengths. The issuing bodies span water districts, county governments, and state agencies—the Alameda County Water District, Pasco County, Florida, Santa Clara County, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have all posted opportunities under or closely aligned with this code within the past three months. Scope typically includes supply and delivery of tubing stock to distribution centers or maintenance facilities, with specifications that may permit substitution or require exact product matches depending on the application.

Geographic activity centers on California (Alameda County Water District, Santa Clara County) and Texas (TDCJ), with Florida (Pasco County) also present. Representative recent opportunities include the Alameda County Water District's April 2026 IFB for 2,000 to 4,800 feet of Cambridge-Lee Industries 3/4" and 1" Type K soft copper tubing with delivery to Fremont by April 27, 2026; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's March 2026 IFB (IW245930) for copper tubing with an April 7, 2026 bid deadline; and Pasco County's June 2026 request for quotation (RFQFP261004) seeking one or more vendors for large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an indefinite-quantity basis, due June 26, 2026. Note that the Santa Clara County pavement rehabilitation ITB (ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) was tagged under this code but addresses highway construction work, not tubing supply, indicating occasional categorization misalignment in the opportunities database.
