UNSPSC 40182001: Seamless copper bent tube

Seamless tube made of copper that has been bent

UNSPSC 40182001 Seamless copper bent tube is a Commodity code that covers copper tubing products and related copper materials sourced by state and local water districts, county infrastructure agencies, and state correctional facilities. Recent opportunities show state and local governments buying copper tubing for water system maintenance and infrastructure repair, as well as copper sulfate for water treatment and specialized industrial applications. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Alameda County Water District, and Pasco County, Florida have all posted solicitations under this code within the past three months, indicating demand across correctional facilities, utility operations, and county water or environmental management functions.

Activity concentrates in California and Texas, with recent solicitations in the West and South. The Alameda County Water District posted an IFB on April 22, 2026, for 8,000 feet of Cambridge-Lee Industries copper tubing in three specifications (3/4" Type K Soft in 100-foot and 60-foot rolls, and 1" Type K Soft in 60-foot rolls) for delivery to its Fremont headquarters by April 27, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB (solicitation IW245930, due April 7, 2026) for copper tubing with standard TDCJ compliance requirements including E-Verify, debarment verification, and Texas vendor preference consideration under 34 TAC Rule 20.306. Pasco County, Florida posted an RFQ on June 3, 2026, seeking as-needed supply of large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate with proposals due June 26, 2026. The Santa Clara County pavement rehabilitation ITB (due May 21, 2026) does not align with the code's scope despite the posting and covers asphalt, concrete, and traffic infrastructure work unrelated to copper tubing or materials.
