UNSPSC 40183111: Tube cross

UNSPSC 40183111 Tube cross, a Commodity code, names a single product or service—a tube cross fitting—but recent state and local procurements tagged with this code are soliciting entire pipe-and-fittings supply systems for water, sewer, and industrial applications. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department and similar water and sewer authorities are requesting sealed bids for on-demand supply of HDPE and PVC pipe in multiple diameters, fittings including elbows, couplings, wyes, tees, and crosses, valves, and related inventory materials under three-year multiyear contracts with optional extensions. The work is industrial maintenance supply—not discrete tube cross fittings, but standing inventory and fill-rate arrangements for utility operations. Issuing bodies are city public works departments (Phoenix, Sarasota, Palm Bay), county water and sewer authorities (Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority, DeKalb County, Georgia), and transit or aviation authorities operating under municipal procurement rules. The City of Phoenix appears twice in the recent block (IFB26SW0379 in August 2026 and IFB27SW0447 in September 2026), indicating repeat solicitation cycles for its aviation and public works departments.

DeKalb County, Georgia issued a three-year multiyear contract for quick insertion valves, tapping sleeves, and gate valves for pressurized and non-pressurized pipelines (ITB 2026-034-ITB, bids due August 27, 2026). The City of Calhoun, Georgia solicited materials for water main relocation including ductile iron pipe, PVC, and mechanical joint fittings (ITB #2026-00299, bids due June 18, 2026). All contracts require delivery within 24 to 60 days of purchase order, local inventory availability, and firm pricing for the full contract term. DBE and MBE participation plans apply where federal transit or environmental funding is involved.
