UNSPSC 31211915: Paint strainers

UNSPSC 31211915 Paint strainers is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers automatic inline strainers and related filtration equipment installed in water reclamation and utility infrastructure. The Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County, Georgia issued IFB BID #26042 in May 2026 for removal and direct replacement of a 16" Hellan Strainer at the North Oconee Water Reclamation Facility, filtering recycled process water for facility washdown use, with an estimated budget of $125,000 to $175,000 and a June 12, 2026 bid deadline. Issuing bodies under this code include municipal utilities departments and county public-works divisions soliciting equipment replacement and installation work through competitive sealed-bid processes.

The code shows limited recent activity in the captured opportunities block. The second opportunity on file — Santa Clara County, California's expressway guardrail and safety barrier project posted in March 2026 — involves roadway construction and traffic-control work unrelated to paint strainers or filtration equipment, indicating a classification mismatch rather than genuine activity under this Commodity code. The single relevant solicitation points to Georgia as an active jurisdiction for water-utility strainer work, though the sample is too narrow to characterize broader geographic concentration. Bidders should monitor Athens-Clarke County and similar municipal water-reclamation authorities for similar replacement and retrofit opportunities, though this code does not currently show sustained pipeline activity across multiple jurisdictions.
