UNSPSC 40181706: Welded aluminum tube assembly

Welded tube assembly made of aluminum

UNSPSC 40181706 Welded aluminum tube assembly (Commodity) covers pump tubing and related fluid-conveyance components that state and local governments procure for water and utility equipment, as reflected in recent solicitations focused on replacement parts and system components. The scope encompasses fabricated aluminum tubes, often with specific fitments or assemblies engineered for sampling, pumping, or distribution systems used by water authorities and county infrastructure departments. Issuing bodies under this code are primarily county-level purchasing offices acting on behalf of water resources or utilities divisions, acquiring replacement tubing and assemblies through quotation-based procurement when specifications are standardized and quantities limited.

Gwinnett County, Georgia posted a quotation request in June 2026 for 400 units of pump tubing (manufacturer item 60-6700-062 or approved equivalent) destined for water sampling equipment, with award based on lowest responsive and responsible pricing and delivery FOB to the county's central facility in Lawrenceville. A separate procurement from Santa Clara County, California in May 2026 addressed the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project—a large-scale infrastructure bid that included pavement, curbing, and traffic improvements rather than discrete tubing assemblies, suggesting potential UNSPSC mis-tagging on that posting. Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and California, with at least one confirmed relevant opportunity in the water utility sector. The code shows modest but consistent activity tied to scheduled equipment maintenance and replacement cycles rather than new construction or system expansions.
