UNSPSC 40182506: Extruded copper tube assembly

Extruded tube assembly made of copper

UNSPSC 40182506 Extruded copper tube assembly, a Commodity code, represents purchases of copper tubing and related materials for facility operations and infrastructure maintenance. State and local procurement under this code covers both finished copper tube products for water and utility distribution systems and raw copper materials for facility-wide use. The issuing bodies span water districts, county governments, and state criminal justice agencies, each procuring copper tubing according to standardized specifications and delivery requirements. These jurisdictions typically solicit through competitive bidding processes including Invitations for Bid (IFB) and Request for Quote/Proposal (RFQ/RFP) notices, with straightforward pricing-based award criteria and standard compliance requirements such as suspension and debarment verification, E-Verify compliance, and Texas-based vendor preferences where applicable under state law.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Texas, with standout buyers including the Alameda County Water District (which recently issued an IFB for 2,000 to 4,800 feet of Cambridge-Lee Industries Type K Soft copper tubing in 3/4" and 1" diameters for delivery to its Fremont, California headquarters, due April 27, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (which posted an IFB for copper tubing in March 2026 with a bid deadline of April 7, 2026, subject to Texas local-vendor preferences under 34 TAC Rule 20.306), and Pasco County, Florida (which solicited large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed basis with proposals due June 26, 2026). The code shows minimal alignment with a separate Santa Clara County pavement rehabilitation ITB posted in April 2026, which focuses on roadway infrastructure and does not represent core activity under this commodity classification. Geographic spread across California, Texas, and Florida reflects distributed demand tied to water utility systems, county facility maintenance, and state correctional infrastructure.
