UNSPSC 40142516: General Strainers

Strainers, in general, are used for filtration purposes. They help separate the liquid from the solid particles, giving you pure results. The infused liquid is passed through a removable screen which helps collect particles. The same is the reason why strainers are used in pipelines. The screen also collects particles of size 0.001 inches to ensure no impurities are passed. The filters of the strainers are usually produced using fibrous substances. This kind of substance helps capture the debris at several spots throughout.

This results in clogging the filter component, which needs to be changed often. There are different types of strainers in piping, Y-Type Strainers, Basket Type Strainers, Temporary Strainers, Twin Strainers or Duplex Strainers, Some Special Strainer Types etc.

UNSPSC 40142516 General Strainers is a Commodity code covering filtration equipment and replacement components procured by municipal utilities and transportation authorities for water treatment, process-water recycling, and facility infrastructure maintenance. State and local buyers under this code include county public-utilities departments and county transportation agencies soliciting strainer equipment, gaskets, and associated installation services for water-reclamation facilities and industrial water systems.

The Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County, Georgia issued IFB BID #26042 on May 13, 2026 for removal and direct replacement of an automatic strainer at the North Oconee Water Reclamation Facility, with a response deadline of June 12, 2026 and an estimated budget of $125,000 to $175,000; the scope includes installation of a 16" Hellan Strainer model, two new flange gasket kits, site cleanup, and travel, with an optional site visit scheduled for May 19, 2026. Santa Clara County, California posted ITB ITBRDAFY260652 on March 25, 2026 for expressway guardrail replacement and safety barrier improvements with a response deadline of April 23, 2026 and a mandatory pre-bid conference on April 14, 2026; however, this opportunity focuses on guardrail, concrete barrier, and crash-cushion installation rather than strainer equipment and does not align with the code's nominal scope. Recent activity under the code is limited; the Athens-Clarke County North Oconee WRF solicitation represents the primary relevant opportunity in the current dataset.
