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 that covers brass and copper tubing, fittings, and related plumbing repair parts procured by state and local water utilities, municipal maintenance departments, and state correctional facilities for warehouse stock replenishment and infrastructure maintenance. State and local governments use this code to acquire brass service line fittings, accessories, tapping saddles, and copper tubing in various gauges and roll lengths for water distribution system repair and facility operations. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code include municipal water districts, city water departments, county facilities management operations, and state criminal justice agencies—a mix reflecting both routine utility maintenance and specialized institutional procurement.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas and California. The City of Arlington, Texas posted an annual requirements contract for brass water repair parts with proposals due October 22, 2026 (Solicitation 270041, IFB), seeking brass service line fittings and tapping saddles for water warehouse stock. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for copper tubing (Solicitation IW245930) with a bid deadline of April 7, 2026. In California, the Alameda County Water District solicited Cambridge-Lee Industries copper tubing in three specified types and quantities via IFB 252636, due April 28, 2026, for delivery to its Fremont headquarters facility. A fourth solicitation from Pasco County, Florida (RFQFP261004, due June 26, 2026) sought copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed basis, diverging materially from the code's nominal plumbing-tube scope. The recent-opportunities block contains no activities unambiguously matching the code name from Santa Clara County's pavement rehabilitation project, which principally addresses civil construction rather than brass or copper tube procurement.
