UNSPSC 40182302: Seamless steel pierced tube

Seamless tube made of steel that has been pierced

UNSPSC 40182302 Seamless steel pierced tube, a Commodity code, describes materials state and local governments procure for infrastructure projects, though recent opportunities show the code receives limited direct activity in state and local procurement. The two most recent opportunities posted under this code involve pavement rehabilitation and stormwater pipe supply, neither of which aligns closely with seamless steel tube procurement. Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) solicits comprehensive roadway reconstruction including asphalt overlay, concrete curbing, ADA improvements, and traffic signal work—primarily concrete and bituminous materials rather than steel tube. Gwinnett County's stormwater pipe procurement (ITB BL079-26, due May 19, 2026) covers reinforced concrete pipe, high-density polyethylene, and corrugated metal pipe in various sizes, with no mention of seamless steel tube specifications. The issuing bodies are county transportation and water-resource departments, typical of infrastructure procurement, but the commodity classification appears misaligned with actual materials being sourced.

The code shows activity in California and Georgia, but the mismatch between the nominal scope (seamless steel pierced tube) and recent opportunities suggests this code receives little relevant state and local procurement traffic. Business development professionals should verify with issuing bodies whether seamless steel tube procurement appears elsewhere under related codes or whether opportunities in infrastructure rehabilitation, drainage systems, or utility distribution may be more appropriately classified under alternative UNSPSC categories that better capture steel pipe and tube materials.
