UNSPSC 40182002: Seamless copper pierced tube

Seamless tube made of copper that has been pierced

UNSPSC 40182002 Seamless copper pierced tube is a Commodity code covering physical copper tubing products procured by state and local water utilities, county departments, and specialized state agencies. State and local governments buy copper tubing primarily for water delivery infrastructure, maintenance, and facility-level plumbing systems. The recent solicitation activity shows straightforward goods procurement: the Alameda County Water District sought specific quantities of Cambridge-Lee Industries Type K copper tubing in rolls of varying lengths and diameters for delivery to its Fremont headquarters facility; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for copper tubing with standard F.O.B. destination terms and 30-day price firm requirements; Pasco County, Florida solicited large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed basis, indicating the code captures both primary copper products and copper compounds used in water treatment. Issuing bodies include regional water districts, county purchasing offices, and state correctional departments. One outlier opportunity—Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project—appears unrelated to the code's nominal scope and does not reflect meaningful activity under this category.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Texas. The Alameda County Water District (California) issued an IFB due April 27, 2026, for 8,000 feet of Type K copper tubing in specified roll lengths and diameters to be delivered to 4550 Enterprise Street, Fremont, California. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted an IFB (number IW245930) with a bid deadline of April 7, 2026, for copper tubing with standard state compliance requirements including Texas Identification Numbers, E-Verify verification, and Texas-based vendor preference eligibility under 34 TAC Rule 20.306. Pasco County, Florida solicited copper sulfate products on an as-needed indefinite-quantity basis with proposals due June 26, 2026. Geographic representation is limited to three states in the recent window, with no clear concentration beyond the California water utility and Texas correctional system as visible repeat buyers.
