UNSPSC 40183009: Braided sleeve tubing

Rubber, composite or other tubing sheathed partially or completely by a braided metal protective sleeve.

UNSPSC 40183009 Braided sleeve tubing is a Commodity code that captures small-volume replacement and maintenance tubing supplies for specialized equipment across state and local water, wastewater, and transportation operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show demand for pump tubing components used in water-sampling and water-treatment apparatus, as well as specialized tubular materials required for infrastructure rehabilitation projects. The issuing bodies are primarily county-level purchasing offices and departments managing water resources, environmental monitoring, and public works maintenance. Work involves supply of manufacturer-specified or approved-equivalent tubing in small quantities, often packaged and delivered to specific facility receiving points, with vendors required to provide references and comply with state labor and tax regulations.

Activity under the code is geographically dispersed across at least California and Georgia based on recent solicitations. Gwinnett County Department of Financial Services, Purchasing Division posted a quotation request in June 2026 (RFQ 132106) for 400 units of pump tubing for water-sampling equipment, with quotes due June 30, 2026 and delivery to the Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources Central Facility in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Santa Clara County posted an invitation to bid in April 2026 (ITB ITBRDAFY260694) for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard, with bid opening May 21, 2026; while this project's primary focus is pavement work, it includes ancillary infrastructure components that may incorporate specialized tubing materials. The code shows episodic rather than steady procurement activity, reflecting maintenance and equipment-replacement cycles in local water and transportation infrastructure.
