UNSPSC 40181606: Welded brass tube assembly

Welded tube assembly made of brass

UNSPSC 40181606 Welded brass tube assembly, a Commodity code, describes plumbing and water infrastructure repair components that state and local water utilities and municipal departments procure for operational stock replenishment and capital maintenance. Recent opportunities show water systems buying brass service line fittings, accessories, tapping saddles, and copper tubing for warehouse inventory and field repair operations. The code spans discrete plumbing goods — specifically brass or copper tube assemblies and allied fittings — rather than installation services or systems integration. Issuing bodies include municipal water departments (City of Arlington, Texas; Alameda County Water District), regional water utilities, and state agencies managing institutional infrastructure. The scope reflects routine commodity purchasing for water system upkeep, not turnkey project work.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and California, with the City of Arlington, Texas posting an annual requirements contract for brass water repair parts due October 22, 2026 (RFQ 270041), and the Alameda County Water District issuing an Invitation for Bid on April 22, 2026, for Cambridge-Lee Industries copper tubing in multiple roll sizes and gauges to its Fremont headquarters, with delivery by April 27, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice also posted an IFB for copper tubing (IW245930) with a bid deadline of April 7, 2026. Recent opportunities favor electronic submission and brand-specific sourcing (Cambridge-Lee Industries noted in the Alameda County procurement); deliveries are typically tied to warehouse receiving hours and prepaid freight terms. No set-asides, local preferences, or disadvantaged-enterprise designations appear in the recent postings. Activity is episodic rather than continuous, with opportunities posted as operational need and annual contract cycles dictate.
