UNSPSC 40101605: Fan guards or accessories

UNSPSC 40101605 Fan guards or accessories is a Commodity code that encompasses fans, fan equipment, and related components procured by state and local governments for operational and maintenance needs. Recent solicitations reveal substantial scope mismatch: the code's nominal name "fan guards or accessories" does not reflect actual procurement activity, which centers on industrial fans, cooling equipment, fan rental, and fan-related repair or replacement services rather than guards or ancillary accessories. State and local bodies using this code include municipal water districts, city transit authorities, county boards, state departments, and fire rescue departments. West Basin Municipal Water District (Los Angeles County) posted a major on-call contract for pump and motor repair, rebuild, and replacement services with a $1,000,000 not-to-exceed amount over two years; the City of Charlotte sought preventative maintenance and repair for boiler and chiller systems at transit facilities; and the City of Meriden posted an IFB for exhaust fan replacement at a public works facility subject to a 25% SBE and 6.25% MBE/DBE set-aside.

Procurement activity spans California, North Carolina, Connecticut, Texas, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Florida. The Texas Department of Public Safety issued an IFB for two 18-foot industrial fans with installation for an equine facility (bids due August 10, 2026); the State of Illinois Department of Agriculture solicited proposals for a Basic Ordering Agreement for six industrial cooling fans for the 2026 State Fair, valued under $50,000 and due July 8, 2026; and Collier County, Florida posted a Quick Quote for two misting fans with technical specifications (25–30 inches wide, 110V AC, 28,000 BtuH minimum cooling capacity) due May 8, 2026, funded through the Emergency Management Performance Grant Program. A Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) and a single-source notice from Collier County for New York Blower odor control systems for wastewater treatment plants round out recent activity. The code shows active but geographically dispersed demand across facility operations, water management, emergency services, and transit functions, with a mix of straight equipment purchases, maintenance contracts, and cooperative purchasing frameworks.
