UNSPSC 40182601: Extruded brass bent tube

Extruded tube made of brass that has been bent

UNSPSC 40182601 Extruded brass bent tube is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure brass and copper tubing products for water system infrastructure, repair warehouses, and facility maintenance. Recent solicitations show water districts and municipalities buying brass service line fittings, accessories, tapping saddles, and copper tubing in specified gauges and lengths for stock replenishment and capital projects. The issuing bodies span municipal water departments, county water districts, and state facilities management — a mix of single-agency buyers and special-purpose water utilities. The work is straightforward goods procurement, typically on annual requirements or as-needed contracts with fixed product specifications and delivery-to-facility requirements; no design or engineering is involved.

Activity concentrates in Texas and California. The City of Arlington, Texas solicited brass water repair parts (Solicitation 270041, due October 22, 2026) as an annual requirements contract for warehouse stock. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB IW245930 for copper tubing with a deadline of April 7, 2026. Alameda County Water District in California posted IFB 252636 on April 22, 2026, for Cambridge-Lee Industries brand copper tubing in three configurations totaling 8,000 feet, with bids due April 27, 2026. Santa Clara County issued a larger pavement rehabilitation contract (ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) that included incidental roadway materials but is primarily a construction project outside the core scope of this code. Pasco County, Florida solicited copper sulfate on an as-needed basis (RFQFP261004, due June 26, 2026), representing cross-category chemical procurement. Contracts under this code typically run 12 months for annual requirements, require FOB destination with freight prepaid, and emphasize compliance certifications and E-Verify requirements in Texas jurisdictions.
