UNSPSC 40181606: Welded brass tube assembly

Welded tube assembly made of brass

UNSPSC 40181606 Welded brass tube assembly is a Commodity code that in practice covers copper tubing and related tube stock supplied to state and local water utilities, corrections departments, and county agencies. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local buyers procuring specific types and gauges of copper tubing — ranging from soft-temper Type K stock in multiple diameters to bulk quantities for infrastructure maintenance — rather than finished welded brass assemblies as the code name suggests. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments, county water districts, and county procurement offices. The work involves straightforward goods procurement with firm pricing, standard delivery terms (F.O.B. destination, freight prepaid), and compliance with state employment verification and accessibility documentation requirements typical of state and local procurement.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and California. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted IFB IW245930 for copper tubing with a bid deadline of April 7, 2026. Alameda County Water District issued IFB 252636 on April 22, 2026, seeking 8,000 feet of Cambridge-Lee Industries copper tubing in Type K soft temper, various diameters and roll lengths, with bids due April 27, 2026, and delivery to its Fremont headquarters facility. Pasco County, Florida solicited on an as-needed basis for large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate under RFQFP261004 with proposals due June 26, 2026. A third posting from Santa Clara County for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) appears mistagged to this code — the scope involves pavement overlay, curb and gutter work, traffic signals, and bioretention basins, not tube stock or welded assemblies.
