UNSPSC 40182606: Extruded brass tube assembly

Extruded tube assembly made of brass

UNSPSC 40182606 Extruded brass tube assembly (Commodity) encompasses copper tubing and related piping products that state and local water utilities, corrections departments, and county facilities procure for infrastructure maintenance, system repairs, and facility operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing both specific branded copper tubing inventory and chemical compounds marketed under commodity codes that do not align tightly with the code's nominal scope. The Alameda County Water District issued an IFB in April 2026 for 8,000 feet of Cambridge-Lee Industries Type K soft copper tubing in multiple diameters for delivery to its Fremont headquarters; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Pasco County, Florida solicited copper tubing and copper sulfate respectively on indefinite-quantity bases. Issuing bodies include regional water districts, state corrections agencies, and county purchasing offices managing facility and infrastructure portfolios.

Geographic activity clusters in California and Texas, with recent opportunities from the Alameda County Water District (April 2026, IFB 252636, response date April 27, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (April 2026, IFB IW245930, response date April 7, 2026), and Pasco County, Florida (June 2026, RFQFP261004, response date June 26, 2026). Santa Clara County's May 2026 invitation for pavement rehabilitation (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, response date May 21, 2026) was tagged under this commodity code but addresses road construction and does not reflect relevant purchasing under the extruded brass tube assembly classification. The water district procurement specifies brand-name Type K tubing with no equal substitutes, firm pricing, and delivery to a named facility location. State and local buyers in this space typically require F.O.B. destination delivery, prompt-payment discounts, Texas vendor preferences where applicable, and compliance with E-Verify and debarment-verification requirements.
