UNSPSC 26131615: Exhaust diversion dampers

UNSPSC 26131615 Exhaust diversion dampers (Commodity) shows no recent state or local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The nine recent opportunities tagged to this code span solar installation, electrical and emergency power systems, waste-to-energy facility design-build, microgrid and DC fast charger design, agricultural stock water wells, rooftop wind microturbines, power distribution maintenance, solar equipment operations and maintenance, tennis center IT and low-voltage infrastructure, and a laundry exhaust lint collection system. Of these, only the Milwaukee County laundry exhaust system procurement genuinely relates to exhaust diversion and ductwork, addressing removal and replacement of an existing lint filter system at a correctional facility. The remaining eight opportunities involve renewable energy generation, electrical distribution, water infrastructure, and IT systems — work products unrelated to damper or exhaust equipment.

The laundry exhaust opportunity stands as the sole representative example: Milwaukee County, Wisconsin issued ITB for design, furnishing, and installation of a new laundry exhaust lint collection system at the Community Reintegration Center, with sealed bids due June 3, 2026. The scope required removal of existing ductwork, installation of a code-compliant system supporting two dryers at approximately 20,000 CFM capacity, shop drawings, structural engineering, building automation system integration, and commissioning. The geographic and issuing-body distribution across the opportunity set—spanning Georgia, Virginia, Florida, Colorado, California, and Wisconsin, and including cities, counties, a water authority, and a state procurement portal—reflects general state and local procurement activity rather than market demand specific to exhaust dampers. The mismatch between the code's nominal definition and actual recent solicitations suggests minimal current market activity for damper equipment under this UNSPSC category in state and local procurement.
