UNSPSC 40183011: Silicone tubing

Extruded high purity hollow tube that is pliable and biocompatible.

UNSPSC 40183011 Silicone tubing (Commodity) covers flexible tubing for laboratory, water utility, and specialized equipment applications. State and local governments purchase silicone tubing primarily as replacement and consumable supplies for analytical instruments, sampling equipment, and water-handling systems. Recent solicitations show demand concentrated in water utilities and county departments of environmental or water resources, where tubing supports ongoing operations of automated sampling and testing equipment.

Activity under this code remains sparse in the recent state and local opportunities market. Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources posted a quotation request in June 2026 (IWQ 132106, due June 30, 2026) seeking 400 units of pump tubing (manufacturer item 60-6700-062 or approved equivalent) for Avalanche Sampler equipment, with FOB destination delivery to their central facility in Lawrenceville, Georgia. A second recent opportunity flagged under this code—Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026)—concerns highway construction and pavement work unrelated to silicone tubing procurement. The code shows limited recent activity in state and local procurement; the Gwinnett County RFQ represents the only concrete match to the commodity's nominal scope among recent postings.
