UNSPSC 26131600: Exhaust structures or screening equipment

UNSPSC 26131600 Exhaust structures or screening equipment, a Class code, encompasses the design, engineering, permitting, procurement, installation, and maintenance of ventilation and exhaust systems for industrial and municipal facilities. State and local governments procuring under this code acquire integrated exhaust solutions for specialized applications such as laundry facilities, power distribution systems, and renewable energy installations. Recent solicitations show municipalities and counties issuing RFPs and ITBs for complete exhaust system replacement, maintenance contracts, and design-build services that bundle engineering, permitting, equipment procurement, installation oversight, and multi-year service agreements. Issuing bodies include city departments of water and power, county facilities and parks departments, and special-purpose water districts. The code also captures ancillary renewable energy infrastructure such as rooftop wind microturbine installations where exhaust and venting considerations are part of the integrated design scope.

Activity appears concentrated in California, Georgia, and Wisconsin, with scattered postings in South Dakota and other states. Representative recent opportunities include Milwaukee County's sealed bid for a new laundry exhaust lint collection system at the Community Reintegration Center (ITB, due June 3, 2026), which bundled design, furnishing, installation, removal of existing ductwork, structural engineering, building automation system integration, and a one-year labor warranty; the City of Pasadena Department of Water and Power's RFP for design and engineering of a rooftop wind microturbine distributed energy resource with permitting and three-year maintenance (RFP 2026RFP0129, due May 22, 2026); and Eastern Municipal Water District's RFP for power distribution maintenance and repair services (RFPHH3944, due July 24, 2026). Contracts often require commercial general liability insurance in the $1 million to $2 million range, compliance with building and electrical codes, and coordination with county building automation or fire suppression systems. No set-asides dominate; local vendor preferences and small-business certifications appear as non-binding pass-fail criteria in some jurisdictions.
