UNSPSC 23201002: Packed columns

UNSPSC 23201002 Packed columns (Commodity) covers equipment and components installed in industrial and laboratory process systems, as evidenced by recent state and local solicitations seeking tank upgrades, filtration vessels, and related separation or containment apparatus. State and local buyers under this code include higher education institutions, county governments, and cooperative purchasing authorities acting on behalf of multiple jurisdictions. The University of Wisconsin Stevens Point solicited bids for false bottoms and automatic drain valves to upgrade stock tanks in a pilot paper machine laboratory, and Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued an RFP for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities across multiple states and Canada. Work solicited under the code ranges from component procurement and installation to equipment upgrades supporting operational systems in educational and public-sector facilities.

Geographic activity centers on the upper Midwest and Pacific Northwest, with recent opportunities posted from Wisconsin and Washington. The University of Wisconsin Stevens Point's IFB for stock tank upgrades (Solicitation 2026-STPALL-01275-RFB, due April 16, 2026) required mandatory pre-bid site attendance on March 26, 2026, and online submission through the university's procurement portal. Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) cast a wider geographic net, encompassing Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington and participating entities across the United States and Canada, with responses submitted through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. Neither solicitation disclosed specific award values or set-aside designations in available documentation.
