UNSPSC 40181700: Welded aluminum tubes

Tubes made of welded aluminum

UNSPSC 40181700 Welded aluminum tubes is a Class code covering fabricated aluminum tubing products purchased by state and local water and transportation utilities. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show demand for replacement and maintenance supplies in water-treatment and sampler equipment rather than large-scale fabrication or construction material volumes. Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources, for instance, solicited 400 units of pump tubing (manufacturer item number 60-6700-062 or approved equivalent) for Avalanche Sampler equipment in an IWQ RFQ posted in June 2026. The code also appears to tag some transportation infrastructure work—Santa Clara County posted an ITB in April 2026 for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard, a comprehensive pavement and roadway improvement effort—though the tubing connection to that scope is unclear and the opportunity may represent a cataloging mismatch rather than welded aluminum tube procurement.

Issuing bodies under this code include county water departments and county transportation authorities. Geographically, recent activity centers on Georgia and California, with Gwinnett County and Santa Clara County appearing in the most recent opportunities. The Gwinnett pump-tubing RFQ required delivery to the Department of Water Resources Central Facility in Lawrenceville, Georgia with quotations due June 30, 2026, and vendors were required to provide three references for similar projects and comply with worker verification requirements under Georgia law. The Santa Clara pavement project RFQ (due May 21, 2026) required physical bid submission only; no budget or incumbent-vendor information was disclosed. This code shows limited recent state and local activity, concentrated in utility-scale replacement supplies rather than broad procurement volume.
