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 (Commodity) covers industrial tubing products that state and local governments procure for equipment maintenance, fleet service, and infrastructure operations. Recent solicitations show this code capturing replacement tubing for specialized sampling equipment and industrial machinery rather than high-volume construction or utility applications. Issuing bodies under this code span county water departments and county public-works operations, reflecting the scattered, equipment-specific nature of procurement in this commodity category. Purchasing flows through standard county procurement divisions using quotation requests and invitation-to-bid notices tied to discrete maintenance cycles or equipment replacement needs.

Recent activity centers in California and Georgia. Gwinnett County Department of Financial Services, Purchasing Division posted an IWQ for 400 units of pump tubing (item 60-6700-062 or approved equivalent) for water sampling equipment on June 25, 2026, with quotations due June 30, 2026 via email—a representative equipment-replacement buy. Santa Clara County posted an ITB for Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation on April 29, 2026, due May 21, 2026; however, that solicitation focuses on pavement rehabilitation, recycling, asphalt overlay, curb and gutter work, and traffic improvements rather than tubing products, indicating a code mismatch in tagging. The Gwinnett County opportunity is the relevant signal: unit pricing with FOB delivery, three-reference requirements, and lowest-responsive-and-responsible award criteria are standard for this commodity. Current activity is sparse and episodic, reflecting the nature of equipment-component procurement.
