UNSPSC 40182400: Seamless stainless steel tubes

Tubes made of seamless stainless steel

UNSPSC 40182400 Seamless stainless steel tubes is a Class code that in recent state and local practice names infrastructure materials for water and stormwater systems, pavement rehabilitation, and related public works — not seamless stainless tubes in isolation. Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) and Gwinnett County's stormwater pipe procurement (ITB BL079-26, due May 19, 2026) illustrate the actual scope: reinforced concrete pipe, high-density polyethylene pipe, and corrugated metal pipe for drainage and infrastructure systems, alongside labor and materials for pavement, curbs, gutters, ADA access, traffic signals, and bioretention installation. County public works and water-resource departments are the primary issuing bodies using this code, which appears to reflect state and local procurement offices' tendency to tag materials and construction services under established taxonomy even when the nominal code name does not perfectly match the work being bought.

Recent activity is concentrated in California and Georgia. Santa Clara County's Central Expressway project is a comprehensive pavement and drainage rehabilitation requiring completion within 142 working days, with bids due in sealed physical form by 2:00 p.m. on May 21, 2026. Gwinnett County's stormwater pipe purchase is structured as a four-year annual contract with four optional 12-month renewals, requiring sealed bids by 2:50 p.m. on May 19, 2026, with delivery within fourteen days of order placement on an F.O.B. Destination basis. Both solicitations conform to state Department of Transportation and ASTM specifications; neither identifies set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or incumbent vendors. The code shows limited recent posting volume and appears most active in county-level water and transportation infrastructure procurement.
