UNSPSC 40182506: Extruded copper tube assembly

Extruded tube assembly made of copper

UNSPSC 40182506 Extruded copper tube assembly is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure copper tubing, brass water repair parts, and copper sulfate chemicals for infrastructure maintenance and operational use. Recent state and local solicitations show purchasing activity spanning water utility stock replenishment, correctional facility operations, county water treatment, and regional water district supply — a mix reflecting the code's application across municipal water systems, county infrastructure, and specialized institutional needs. The work ranges from off-the-shelf copper tubing in specified dimensions and alloys (Type K Soft, measured in feet and rolls) to brass fittings, service line accessories, and tapping saddles for water warehouse inventory, and extends to chemical supplies such as copper sulfate crystals and liquid forms for water treatment or corrosion control. One recent solicitation tagged to this code — Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project — covers large-scale highway construction and does not align with the copper tube assembly scope; this mismatch suggests inconsistent code tagging in that jurisdiction.

The code sees activity across multiple states, with Texas, California, and Florida posting recent opportunities. The Alameda County Water District issued an IFB on April 22, 2026, for Cambridge-Lee Industries copper tubing (Type K Soft, 3/4" and 1" diameters, totaling 8,000 feet across three product specifications) with delivery to its Fremont headquarters and a bid deadline of April 27, 2026. The City of Arlington, Texas solicited an annual requirements contract (Solicitation 270041, IFB format) for brass water repair parts — service line fittings, accessories, and tapping saddles — with a response deadline of October 22, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted an IFB (IW245930) for copper tubing with a bid deadline of April 7, 2026, applying standard TDCJ compliance and Texas-vendor preference rules. Pasco County, Florida issued an RFQ on June 3, 2026, for large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed, indefinite-quantity basis with proposals due June 26, 2026. Issuing bodies include city water utilities, county water districts, state correctional agencies, and county special-purpose authorities — a diverse mix indicating sustained demand across municipal water infrastructure and state institutional operations.
