UNSPSC 40183108: Tube bushing

UNSPSC 40183108 Tube bushing is a Commodity code that reflects state and local governments' procurement of industrial pipe components, fittings, and related materials for water and sewer infrastructure maintenance and rehabilitation. Recent opportunities show tube bushings and associated fittings purchased as part of broader pipe-supply contracts on as-needed bases, with emphasis on HDPE and PVC pipe systems ranging from 0.75 inches to 36 inches in diameter, couplings, wyes, elbows, and tees for mainline and service-line work. The issuing bodies are predominantly municipal water and sewer authorities and city public works departments, with some county-level sanitation districts. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department appears twice in the recent record (IFB 26-SW-0379 and IFB 27-SW-0447), indicating a repeat buyer; other active buyers include the City of Augusta Georgia, Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority, Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3, DeKalb County Georgia, and the City of Calhoun Georgia. Contracts typically run one to three years with optional renewal periods and mandate firm-fixed pricing for the full term, 24- to 60-day delivery windows, and local inventory maintenance.
