UNSPSC 40182603: Extruded brass end formed tube

Extruded tube made of brass that has been end formed

UNSPSC 40182603 Extruded brass end formed tube is a Commodity code covering brass and copper tubing components and repair parts that state and local utilities, water districts, and facilities-management agencies purchase for infrastructure maintenance and warehouse stock replenishment. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring brass service line fittings, accessories, and tapping saddles for water system repair; copper tubing in multiple gauges and roll lengths for utility distribution networks; and copper sulfate products for water treatment and algae control. The work is being solicited across municipal water utilities, county water districts, county corrections facilities, and municipal public works departments, typically under indefinite-quantity requirements contracts, invitation-for-bid (IFB) notices, and as-needed supply agreements that establish pricing and delivery terms for ongoing inventory draw-down rather than one-time purchases.

Recent activity spans Texas, California, and Florida. The City of Arlington, Texas posted an annual requirements contract (Solicitation 270041, due October 22, 2026) for brass water repair parts including service line fittings and tapping saddles. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for copper tubing (Solicitation IW245930, bid deadline April 7, 2026). The Alameda County Water District in California solicited Cambridge-Lee Industries copper tubing in three specifications—2,000 feet of 3/4" Type K Soft in 100-foot rolls, 4,800 feet of 3/4" Type K Soft in 60-foot rolls, and 1,200 feet of 1" Type K Soft in 60-foot rolls—via IFB (Solicitation IFB252636, due April 27, 2026). Pasco County, Florida posted an as-needed request for large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate (Solicitation RFQFP261004, due June 26, 2026). These opportunities indicate steady routine demand from water utilities and public-facilities operators for commodity-grade tubing and repair components, with response cycles typically in the 4–6 week range and no disclosed set-asides or preference programs.
