UNSPSC 40182101: Seamless brass bent tube

Seamless tube made of brass that has been bent

UNSPSC 40182101 Seamless brass bent tube (Commodity) covers copper and brass tubing products that state and local governments procure for water infrastructure, facility maintenance, and specialty industrial applications. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying copper tubing for distribution systems, facility repairs, and water treatment operations—ranging from bulk rolls of Type K soft copper tubing for water districts to copper sulfate chemicals for county treatment facilities. The issuing bodies span regional water districts, county governments, and state correctional departments, reflecting demand across water utilities, public facilities, and specialized infrastructure operations.

Activity appears concentrated in California and Texas, with the Alameda County Water District (IFB 252636, April 2026) soliciting 8,000 feet of Cambridge-Lee Industries copper tubing in multiple diameters for delivery to its Fremont headquarters by April 27, 2026, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB IW245930, April 2026) issuing a closed copper tubing bid due April 7, 2026, and Pasco County, Florida (RFQFP261004, June 2026) issuing an as-needed RFQ for copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate with proposals due June 26, 2026. The Santa Clara County pavement rehabilitation opportunity (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, May 2026) appears tagged to this code but focuses on highway construction and does not involve brass or copper bent tube. Recent state and local procurement under this code is sparse and dispersed; the mix of water district, county, and state department buyers suggests limited but steady demand for specialty tubing stock and chemical supplies rather than sustained, concentrated contracting activity.
