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 covering copper and brass tubing products supplied to state and local government facilities and infrastructure projects. Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show procurement of copper tubing for water system operations, criminal justice facilities, and pavement rehabilitation projects, though the opportunities span different material specifications and use cases. Issuing bodies include water districts, state criminal justice departments, and county transportation authorities. The work ranges from standardized commodity purchases (specific footage and diameter copper tubing for water infrastructure maintenance) to incidental materials bundled into larger construction or rehabilitation contracts, suggesting the code captures both dedicated tubing procurement and materials sourcing as part of broader capital projects.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Texas. The Alameda County Water District issued an IFB on April 22, 2026, for 8,000 feet of Cambridge-Lee Industries brand Type K soft copper tubing in three configurations (3/4" and 1" diameters in 60- and 100-foot rolls) due April 27, 2026, for delivery to its Fremont headquarters facility. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted an IFB for copper tubing on March 23, 2026, with bids due April 7, 2026, requiring Texas Identification Numbers and E-Verify compliance with Texas-based vendor preference consideration under state rule. Pasco County, Florida issued an RFQFP on June 3, 2026, for copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed basis, due June 26, 2026, though this opportunity reflects material scope drift from the code's nominal brass tubing focus. Santa Clara County's April 29, 2026 ITB for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (due May 21, 2026) includes tubing and infrastructure materials as part of a comprehensive 142-working-day pavement and drainage rehabilitation contract but does not isolate tubing procurement as a primary scope line.
