UNSPSC 40101604: Fans

UNSPSC 40101604 Fans, a Commodity code, encompasses industrial and commercial ventilation equipment that state and local governments procure for facility operations, emergency management, and infrastructure upgrades. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring rooftop exhaust fans for wastewater treatment and maintenance facilities, portable misting fans for disaster relief and heat mitigation, commercial kitchen exhaust systems, and ceiling-mounted ventilation for administrative and operational spaces. The code spans both equipment supply and turnkey installation work, with specifications often calling for high-efficiency motors, backdraft dampers, electrical integration, and weather-resistant construction. Issuing bodies include municipal public works and facility management departments, county emergency management and procurement offices, state facility operators, and specialized facilities such as wastewater treatment plants and state-supported living centers. Buyers source through informal quotes (RFQ, ITB, Quick Quote processes), with many solicitations requiring mandatory site visits and detailed technical specifications tied to existing infrastructure.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Collier County has issued multiple misting-fan procurements for emergency management), Georgia (City of College Park, Gwinnett County, City of Lavonia), Texas (state health and human services facilities), and Connecticut (City of Meriden), with scattered activity across Illinois, Missouri, and other jurisdictions.
