UNSPSC 40182801: Extruded steel bent tube

Extruded tubes made ofsteel that have been bent

UNSPSC 40182801 Extruded steel bent tube is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show minimal direct alignment with the code's nominal scope. The two recent solicitations in the record—Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (IFB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) and Gwinnett County's Purchase of Stormwater Pipe on an Annual Contract (ITB BL079-26, due May 19, 2026)—focus on infrastructure materials including reinforced concrete pipe, high-density polyethylene pipe, and corrugated metal pipe for stormwater and roadway applications. The code designation does not reflect the actual procurement activity being tagged, suggesting either a classification error in the issuing jurisdictions' tagging systems or that extruded steel bent tube represents a minor or subordinate line item within larger infrastructure projects that are categorized under broader material codes. State and local buyers are pursuing these opportunities through standard competitive procurement processes; Santa Clara County requires physical bid submission with no electronic bids accepted, while Gwinnett County uses sealed bids with virtual bid opening and structures its stormwater pipe contract as a four-year initial term with optional renewal periods.

The geographic activity is concentrated in California and Georgia. Santa Clara County (California) is soliciting comprehensive pavement rehabilitation and related improvements along the Central Expressway corridor, with a 142-working-day completion window beginning 30 to 45 days after notice of award. Gwinnett County (Georgia) has structured an open-end annual contract for multiple categories of pipe materials—reinforced concrete, HDPE, and corrugated metal pipe in varying diameters—with delivery required within fourteen days of order placement on an F.O.B. Destination basis and contract commencement on August 24, 2026. Neither solicitation specifies set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or names incumbent vendors. No recent opportunities under this code demonstrate a clear procurement market for extruded steel bent tube as a primary commodity, and firms should verify code alignment with issuing bodies before pursuing work in this category.
