UNSPSC 40182100: Seamless brass tubes

Tubes made of seamless brass

UNSPSC 40182100 Seamless brass tubes is a Class code covering brass and copper tubing products that state and local governments procure for water utility infrastructure maintenance and capital projects. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers sourcing brass service line fittings, accessories, and tapping saddles for water warehouse stock replenishment; copper tubing in specified gauges and roll lengths for delivery to water district facilities; and related materials for ongoing system repairs and upgrades. Water districts and municipal water departments are the primary issuing bodies, though the code also captures procurement by state correctional agencies and county government operations. The City of Arlington, Texas and Alameda County Water District in California represent active repeat buyers of tubing stock under this code.

Activity appears concentrated in Texas and California. The City of Arlington, Texas posted an annual requirements contract for brass water repair parts (Solicitation 270041, IFB, due October 22, 2026) seeking brass service line fittings, accessories, and tapping saddles for warehouse stock. Alameda County Water District in California issued an IFB on April 22, 2026 (due April 27, 2026) for Cambridge-Lee Industries copper tubing in three sizes—2,000 feet of 3/4" Type K Soft in 100-foot rolls, 4,800 feet of 3/4" Type K Soft in 60-foot rolls, and 1,200 feet of 1" Type K Soft in 60-foot rolls—for delivery to its Fremont headquarters facility. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice also solicited copper tubing (IW245930, IFB, due April 7, 2026), though scope detail was not fully documented. A fourth opportunity from Pasco County, Florida (RFQFP261004, due June 26, 2026) sought copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed basis, which falls outside typical tubing procurement scope under this code.
