UNSPSC 40182103: Seamless brass end formed tube

Seamless tube made of brass that has been end formed

UNSPSC 40182103 Seamless brass end formed tube is a Commodity code covering copper and brass tubing products procured by state and local governments for water infrastructure, facilities maintenance, and industrial applications. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show purchases of copper tubing in bulk quantities, copper sulfate for water treatment, and tubing components for distribution systems. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county water districts (Alameda County Water District), and county governments (Pasco County, Florida) procuring goods on fixed-award or indefinite-quantity bases. The work ranges from straightforward goods procurement with brand-specific requirements to as-needed supply arrangements with no preset quantity commitments.

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 copper tubing (Type K Soft in 3/4" and 1" diameters) with delivery by April 27, 2026, to its Fremont headquarters; the District evaluated bids on price and prompt-payment discounts. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted IFB IW245930 on March 23, 2026, for copper tubing with a bid deadline of April 7, 2026, to P.O. Box 4018, Huntsville, Texas. Pasco County, Florida issued an RFQ on June 3, 2026, for large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed basis with proposals due June 26, 2026. A Santa Clara County pavement rehabilitation project (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) appears to have been tagged with this code but involves roadway construction and traffic infrastructure rather than tubing procurement, indicating some miscoding in the source data. Successful bidders must comply with state compliance certifications, E-Verify requirements where applicable, and standard purchase order terms; the code sees steady activity from water districts and state agencies in the West and South.
