UNSPSC 40182000: Seamless copper tubes

Tubes made of seamless copper

UNSPSC 40182000 Seamless copper tubes, a Class code, encompasses the supply of copper tubing products for use in state and local infrastructure, water systems, and facility maintenance. Recent solicitations show state and local governments purchasing copper tubing in standardized specifications — such as Type K soft copper in various diameters and lengths — as well as copper sulfate compounds for operational needs. Issuing bodies include state departments, county water districts, county governments, and special-purpose districts. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Alameda County Water District, and Pasco County have each solicited copper-related supplies in the past three months, indicating recurring demand across different agency types and procurement structures ranging from IFBs to indefinite-quantity arrangements.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, California, and Florida. The Alameda County Water District issued an IFB on April 22, 2026, for delivery of Cambridge-Lee Industries copper tubing (3/4" and 1" Type K soft in specified footage quantities) to its Fremont headquarters by April 27, 2026, with evaluation based on price and prompt-payment discounts. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted an IFB for copper tubing (IW245930) on March 23, 2026, with bids due April 7, 2026, requiring firm pricing for 30 days, F.O.B. destination freight prepaid, and compliance with Texas-based bidder preferences and E-Verify requirements. Pasco County, Florida solicited large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed indefinite-quantity basis with proposals due June 26, 2026 (RFQFP261004). A Santa Clara County pavement rehabilitation project (ITBRDAFY260694) due May 21, 2026, was tagged under this code but involves roadwork and does not reflect copper tubing procurement.
