UNSPSC 40181603: Welded brass end formed tube

Welded tube made of brass that has been end formed

UNSPSC 40181603 Welded brass end formed tube is a Commodity code covering brass and copper tubing products, fittings, and repair parts that state and local governments procure for water utility operations, infrastructure maintenance, and facility stock replenishment. Recent solicitations show state and local buying agencies acquiring brass service line fittings, tapping saddles, and copper tubing in standardized sizes and specifications for warehouse inventory and direct project application. The issuing bodies span municipal water utilities, county water districts, state correctional departments, and county government procurement offices — a mix of single-jurisdiction utility purchasers and broader state-agency buyers.

Activity appears concentrated in Texas and California. The City of Arlington, Texas posted an annual requirements contract for brass water repair parts (Solicitation 270041, response due October 22, 2026); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for copper tubing (Solicitation IW245930, response due April 7, 2026). The Alameda County Water District in California solicited Cambridge-Lee Industries copper tubing in three specific configurations totaling 8,000 feet (Solicitation IFB252636, response due April 27, 2026). Pasco County, Florida also solicited copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed basis (Solicitation RFQFP261004, response due June 26, 2026), though this entry appears misclassified under the brass tubing code. Water utilities and correctional facility operators dominate the buyer base, with notices emphasizing electronic submission, firm pricing terms, and compliance certifications including E-Verify requirements where applicable.
