UNSPSC 40182602: Extruded brass pierced tube

Extruded tube made of brass that has been pierced

UNSPSC 40182602 Extruded brass pierced tube is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure metal tubing products — primarily copper and copper-alloy tubing for water systems, facility maintenance, and industrial applications. Recent solicitations show that buyers are acquiring both finished copper tubing products (in specific diameter and length combinations) and raw material inputs such as copper sulfate for water treatment or chemical processes. The issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county water utilities (Alameda County Water District), county governments (Pasco County, Florida; Santa Clara County, California), and special-purpose districts. While the code's name references brass and pierced configurations, active procurement activity centers on standard copper tubing for plumbing, mechanical systems, and materials supply rather than specialty extrusions. One solicitation (Santa Clara County's Central Expressway project) appears misaligned with the code's nominal scope, focusing instead on pavement rehabilitation and roadway improvements.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Texas. The Alameda County Water District issued an IFB on April 22, 2026 (due April 27, 2026) for 8,000 feet of Type K soft copper tubing in multiple diameters (3/4" and 1") to its Fremont headquarters, with delivery restricted to warehouse hours and bids submitted through Bonfire Hub. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted an IFB (IW245930) with a bid deadline of April 7, 2026 for copper tubing, requiring bidders to hold Texas Identification Numbers, Federal Employer Identification Numbers, and E-Verify compliance, with Texas-based vendor preference available under 34 TAC Rule 20.306. Pasco County, Florida solicited vendors on an as-needed basis for copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate (due June 26, 2026) under an indefinite-quantity arrangement with one or more suppliers.
