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 that encompasses copper and brass tubing products in various dimensions and specifications procured by state and local water districts, county governments, and state agencies for facility maintenance, infrastructure repair, and operational needs. State and local buyers under this code source copper tubing in standardized forms—Type K soft copper in multiple diameters and roll lengths, and bulk quantities of copper sulfate crystals and liquids for water treatment or maintenance applications. Issuing bodies include regional water authorities such as the Alameda County Water District, county governments including Pasco County, Florida and Santa Clara County, California, and state departments such as the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. These jurisdictions typically procure through Invitations for Bid (IFB) and Request for Quote/Proposal (RFQ/RFQP) notices with firm fixed pricing on a goods-delivery or as-needed basis, and often require compliance with local vendor preference rules, E-Verify employment verification, and standard state payment and bonding terms.

Recent activity centers in California and Texas, with the Alameda County Water District posting an IFB on April 22, 2026, for 8,000 feet of Cambridge-Lee Industries copper tubing (Type K Soft in 3/4" and 1" diameters) with delivery to Fremont by April 27, 2026, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing an IFB for copper tubing with a bid deadline of April 7, 2026. Pasco County, Florida solicited large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed basis with proposals due June 26, 2026. Santa Clara County, California also posted an ITB on April 29, 2026, for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project due May 21, 2026, which includes pavement rehabilitation and related improvements but does not align with the code's tubing scope. The copper tubing opportunities reflect straightforward goods procurement with lead times of five to ten days from posting to bid deadline, standard FOB destination delivery terms, and no disclosed budget ceilings or award value ranges.
