UNSPSC 40151611: Barrel compressors

UNSPSC 40151611 Barrel compressors is a Commodity code that currently shows limited alignment between its nominal scope and active state and local solicitation activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span janitorial supplies, trailer-mounted air compressors for highway maintenance, and a cooperative law-enforcement-equipment purchasing vehicle—a divergence that suggests either miscoding in source systems or a very broad interpretation of "barrel compressors." The only clearly on-scope opportunity is the Illinois Department of Transportation rebid for trailer-mounted air compressors (diesel-powered rotary screw units at 250 cfm and 375 cfm), which directly matches the code's product category. That procurement seeks newly manufactured equipment only, meeting Federal, OSHA, and ANSI requirements, with 12-month manufacturer warranties and award on a lowest-price-responsive-and-responsible basis across Districts 1–4.

Issuing bodies in the recent sample include a large county government (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), a state transportation department (Illinois Department of Transportation), and a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing entity (Sourcewell) serving multiple counties and public agencies across several states. The trailer-mounted compressor opportunity from Illinois Department of Transportation, due July 20, 2026, represents the most concrete recent activity under this code's actual product scope, with firm pricing required for 180 days post-bid and line-item award authority. The two other opportunities—a July 24, 2026 ITB from Hillsborough County for janitorial supplies and a June 16, 2026 RFP from Sourcewell for law-enforcement equipment—appear to be miscoded relative to barrel compressors and offer limited decision value for this specific commodity. Geographic activity is concentrated in the Upper Midwest and Southeast based on recent postings, though the cooperative vehicle spans broader participation across multiple states and Canadian jurisdictions.
