UNSPSC 40183109: Tube adapter

Tube adapters are commonly used in the chemical industry and other proccess industries as well

UNSPSC 40183109 Tube adapter (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement activity dominated by water and sewer infrastructure procurement rather than tube adapters as discrete components. Recent solicitations filed under this code cover broad industrial pipe, fittings, and miscellaneous equipment supply contracts serving aviation departments, water authorities, sanitation districts, and municipalities. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department has posted two separate IFBs (IFB 27-SW-0447 in September 2026 and IFB 26-SW-0379 in August 2026) for supply of industrial pipe, miscellaneous fittings, and equipment on three-year terms with optional extensions, specifying HDPE pipe ranging from 1.5 to 24 inches in diameter, PVC pipe from 0.75 to 4 inches, elbows, couplings, glue, and hand tools delivered within 24 to 48 hours. The County of DeKalb, Georgia issued ITB 2026-034 for quick insertion valves, tapping sleeves, resilient wedge insert gate valves, and optional valve insertion equipment under a three-year multiyear contract. The Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority in Georgia solicited annual water and sewer pipe fittings and related inventory materials under IFB 327 with bids due October 7, 2026, and the City of Augusta, Georgia posted ITB 27-116 for various HDPE pipe, couplings, and end sections with bids due September 29, 2026, subject to local-bidder preference and MWBE program requirements.

The code shows activity primarily across Arizona, Georgia, and Florida, with repeat solicitations from Arizona municipalities and Georgia water and sanitation authorities. The City of Phoenix appears as the most active issuer, issuing multiple supply contracts for industrial pipe and fittings to support aviation and public works operations. Water utilities and sanitation districts dominate the issuing-body mix, often with DBE-N compliance and small business participation plan requirements under 49 CFR Part 26 for Federal Transit Administration-assisted projects. Pricing is typically firm-fixed for the contract term, with delivery requirements of 24 to 48 hours from purchase order receipt and local inventory maintenance mandated to support daily operations. Responses to these solicitations reflect actual procurement of standardized pipe and fitting components for infrastructure maintenance and expansion rather than specialized tube adapter products.
