UNSPSC 40182102: Seamless brass pierced tube

Seamless tube made of brass that has been pierced

UNSPSC 40182102 Seamless brass pierced tube is a Commodity code capturing discrete metallic tubing products and components that state and local governments procure for water infrastructure maintenance, utility systems repair, and facility operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show water utilities, criminal justice agencies, and county governments buying brass service line fittings, brass repair parts, tapping saddles, and related brass and copper tubing products for stock replenishment, emergency repairs, and ongoing warehouse inventory. The issuing bodies span municipal water departments, state correctional agencies, county utilities, and special-purpose water districts. The mix reflects both routine consumable procurement (annual requirements and as-needed agreements) and specialized facility maintenance.

The recent activity concentrates in Texas and California. The City of Arlington, Texas posted an annual requirements contract for brass water repair parts on September 23, 2026, with bids due October 22, 2026 (IFB 270041), covering brass service line fittings, accessories, and tapping saddles for water warehouse stock. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for copper tubing on March 23, 2026, with bids due April 7, 2026 (IW245930), requiring compliance with E-Verify, suspension and debarment verification, and Texas-based vendor preference under 34 TAC Rule 20.306. The Alameda County Water District in California solicited copper tubing on April 22, 2026, via IFB (IFB252636) for delivery by April 28, 2026, specifying Cambridge-Lee Industries brand Type K Soft copper tubing in three sizes totaling 8,000 feet, evaluated on price and prompt payment discounts. Pasco County, Florida posted an as-needed Request for Quotation and Proposal on June 3, 2026, for copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate, with proposals due June 26, 2026 (RFQFP261004). One posting (Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project, ITB ITBRDAFY260694) appears unrelated to the code's metallic tubing scope and likely reflects a source tagging error.
