Extruded tube made of copper that has been pierced

UNSPSC 40182502 Extruded copper pierced tube is a Commodity code that encompasses copper tubing, brass water repair parts, and related copper and brass fittings that state and local governments procure for water system maintenance, infrastructure repairs, and warehouse stock replenishment. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span water districts, county and municipal governments, and state agencies. The Alameda County Water District, City of Arlington, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Pasco County, Florida, and Santa Clara County all posted opportunities within the past six months. Work being solicited includes Cambridge-Lee Industries copper tubing in multiple gauges and roll lengths (Type K Soft), brass service line fittings and tapping saddles for water system warehouses, copper sulfate for industrial or water-treatment use, and copper materials embedded in larger infrastructure projects such as pavement rehabilitation.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Texas. The Alameda County Water District issued an IFB on April 22, 2026, for 8,000 feet of Cambridge-Lee Industries copper tubing (3/4" and 1" gauges) to its Fremont headquarters, with bids due April 27, 2026, through the Bonfire Hub portal. The City of Arlington, Texas solicited an annual requirements contract for brass water repair parts on September 23, 2026, with an October 22, 2026, due date, targeting brass service line fittings, accessories, and tapping saddles for water warehouse stock. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted an IFB for copper tubing with an April 7, 2026, deadline, requiring firm pricing for 30 days and compliance with state procurement rules including Texas vendor preference and E-Verify requirements. Pasco County, Florida issued an RFQ for large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed basis, due June 26, 2026. Santa Clara County's May 21, 2026, ITB for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project included copper materials as components of a broader infrastructure scope, though the primary focus was pavement and traffic systems rather than copper procurement alone.
