UNSPSC 23151806: Pharmaceutical filters or ultra filters

UNSPSC 23151806 Pharmaceutical filters or ultra filters, a Commodity code, covers filtration products and systems used in medical supply chains and occupational health applications. State and local government purchasing under this code reflects broad medical-supply procurement patterns, including distributors supplying filtration components embedded within comprehensive medical-supply catalogs (gloves, needles, syringes, wound care, specimen collection) and occupational health service providers requiring filtration infrastructure for medical examinations and record management. Issuing bodies include state cooperative-purchasing alliances, state departments of transportation and their subordinate agencies (such as the Washington State Ferries), and multigovernmental purchasing consortia serving thousands of member entities across multiple states and jurisdictions.

Recent activity centers on cooperative-purchasing master agreements and full-line medical-supply contracts spanning multiple states. The Minnesota Multigovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) issued RFP 37259 for medical supplies with proposals due July 20, 2026, seeking distributors capable of serving approximately 8,000 member entities and generating approximately $300 million in collective annual purchasing power; MMCAP members span the United States. NASPO ValuePoint posted RFP 1433 for medical supplies with proposals due November 9, 2026, establishing master agreements through a cooperative vehicle administered by South Dakota and available to state and local entities across multiple states via Idaho's procurement system. The Washington State Department of Transportation's Washington State Ferries solicited occupational medical surveillance services (RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026) at 14 locations statewide. Recent activity is concentrated in Minnesota and Washington, with multistate cooperative mechanisms extending reach to entities nationwide.
