UNSPSC 40182600: Extruded brass tubes

Tubes made by extruding brass

UNSPSC 40182600 Extruded brass tubes is a Class code covering brass and copper tubing and fittings that state and local water utilities, transit authorities, and correctional facilities procure for infrastructure repair, maintenance, and warehouse stock replenishment. State and local buyers under this code source brass service line fittings, brass tapping saddles, and copper tubing in various gauges and roll lengths—typically for water distribution system upkeep, facility plumbing, and equipment repairs. The issuing bodies are primarily municipal water utilities and special-purpose water districts, supplemented by regional and state agencies managing water infrastructure or facilities; repeat buyers include the Alameda County Water District and the City of Arlington, Texas. Solicitations tend to follow standing annual requirements or as-needed indefinite-quantity structures rather than one-off purchases, reflecting the steady consumptive demand for repair inventory.

Geographic activity centers in California and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida. The Alameda County Water District (IFB 252636, April 2026) solicited 8,000 feet of Cambridge-Lee Industries copper tubing in three specified gauges for delivery to its Fremont headquarters, with bids due April 28, 2026. The City of Arlington, Texas (IFB 270041, September 2026) established an annual requirements contract for brass water repair parts—service line fittings, accessories, and tapping saddles for warehouse stock—with a due date of October 22, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB IW245930, March 2026) posted a copper tubing procurement with an April 7, 2026 deadline, though full scope details are not documented. Pasco County, Florida (RFQFP261004, June 2026) solicited copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed basis, indicating some divergence from the brass-tubing nominal code scope. Solicitations emphasize sealed or portal-based submission, compliance with state E-Verify and debarment requirements, and firm pricing with payment processing occurring 30 days after delivery.
