UNSPSC 40182106: Seamless brass tube assembly

Seamless tube assembly made of brass

UNSPSC 40182106 Seamless brass tube assembly is a Commodity code under which state and local governments solicit copper tubing, copper sulfate, and related materials for water infrastructure, facility maintenance, and materials supply. Recent opportunities show procurement of both finished copper tubing products (Type K soft copper in multiple diameters and footage quantities) and raw or intermediate materials such as copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate for ongoing operational use. The issuing bodies include special-purpose districts (water authorities), county governments, and state agencies. The Alameda County Water District and Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear as recent solicitors, indicating both utility-sector and corrections-sector demand for these materials.

Copper tubing procurement has appeared in California and Texas within the past three months, with the Alameda County Water District posting 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, through the Bonfire Hub portal. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB IW245930 on March 23, 2026, for copper tubing with a bid deadline of April 7, 2026, at its Huntsville office; evaluation allows for low line-item, low total, or combination awards, with Texas vendor preference under 34 TAC Rule 20.306 available to qualifying bidders. Pasco County, Florida solicited as-needed supply of large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate under RFQFP261004, due June 26, 2026, on an indefinite-quantity basis. A separate Santa Clara County opportunity (ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) tagged to this code involved pavement rehabilitation rather than brass tube assembly, suggesting potential miscoding in the underlying opportunity record.
