UNSPSC 40181901: Welded stainless steel bent tube

Welded tube made of stainless steel that has been bent

UNSPSC 40181901 Welded stainless steel bent tube is a Commodity code that in practice captures a narrow slice of state and local infrastructure procurement — specifically, stormwater and drainage pipe products supplied to water resource and transportation departments. Recent solicitations show that state and local governments tag this code when procuring reinforced concrete pipe, high-density polyethylene pipe, and corrugated metal pipe in bulk quantities for annual or multi-year supply contracts. The issuing bodies are county departments of water resources and transportation agencies managing pavement and stormwater infrastructure; the code does not reflect demand from school districts, transit authorities, or municipal general funds. Suppliers under this code typically provide materials conforming to state department of transportation specifications and ASTM standards, with delivery obligations of 14 days or less from order placement.

Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia and Santa Clara County in California are the two jurisdictions with recent posted opportunities. Gwinnett County issued Invitation to Bid BL079-26 on April 16, 2026, for stormwater pipe on an annual contract with a due date of May 19, 2026, encompassing reinforced circular concrete pipe (15" to 72" diameter), HDPE pipe (12" to 24" diameter), and corrugated metal pipe in multiple corrugation sizes, with contract commencement on August 24, 2026, and an initial four-year term plus optional renewals. Santa Clara County issued ITB ITBRDAFY260694 on April 29, 2026, for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project due May 21, 2026, which includes curb and gutter installation and related materials but does not isolate welded stainless steel bent tube as a line item. The Gwinnett County solicitation is the only recent opportunity clearly aligned with the code's stated commodity scope; the Santa Clara County project represents a broader pavement and drainage construction effort in which this specific product class may play a minor role. Georgia and California account for the recent visible activity, though the sparse recent-opportunity record suggests limited state and local demand under this specific commodity code.
