UNSPSC 40182105: Seamless brass chamfered tube

Seamless tube made of brass that has been chamfered

UNSPSC 40182105 Seamless brass chamfered tube is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses the supply of copper tubing and related copper products to state and local water utilities, county governments, and correctional departments. Recent solicitations under this code reflect procurement of copper tubing in various gauges and specifications for infrastructure maintenance and facility operations, ranging from water-system inventory to facility plumbing applications. The issuing bodies are diverse—water districts, counties, and state criminal-justice agencies—each procuring copper products for operational or capital needs. Solicitations follow standard state and local formats, with bids submitted on an IFB or RFQ basis, firm pricing required for 30 days post-bid opening, and delivery on an FOB-destination basis with freight prepaid unless specified otherwise.

Recent activity appears concentrated in California and Texas. The Alameda County Water District issued an IFB on April 22, 2026, for Cambridge-Lee Industries brand copper tubing (2,000 feet of 3/4" Type K Soft in 100-foot rolls, 4,800 feet of 3/4" Type K Soft in 60-foot rolls, and 1,200 feet of 1" Type K Soft in 60-foot rolls) with bids due April 27, 2026; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted an IFB for copper tubing (IW245930) with a bid deadline of April 7, 2026. Pasco County, Florida solicited large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed basis (RFQFP261004, due June 26, 2026). A third opportunity—Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026)—was tagged to this code but centers on pavement rehabilitation and bears no direct relation to seamless brass or copper tubing procurement. No specific contract values or award amounts are disclosed in any of the solicitations.
