UNSPSC 40161503: Dust collectors

UNSPSC 40161503 Dust collectors is a Commodity code encompassing replacement dust collection systems, replacement components such as filter bags, and maintenance and repair services on existing dust collection equipment. State and local governments procure under this code primarily for industrial and institutional facilities—woodshops, materials laboratories, and specialized production spaces—where dust collection is critical to occupational safety and OSHA/NFPA compliance. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies spanning state agencies (Texas Facilities Commission, California Department of Transportation), school districts (Texas School for the Deaf), county governments (Hillsborough County, Humboldt County), and higher-education institutions (Texas A&M University System), with work ranging from complete system replacements with design and installation to maintenance contracts and component sourcing.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and California. The Texas Facilities Commission issued an IFB for replacement of a dust collection system at the Texas School for the Deaf woodshop in Austin, with bids due March 5, 2026, requiring OSHA and NFPA fire code compliance, spark detection and extinguishing capabilities, and HUB Subcontracting Plan submission; the Caltrans Division of Procurement and Contracts issued an IFB for HVAC and Donaldson Torit dust collection system maintenance and repairs at the District 1 Materials Lab in Fortuna, California, with bids due April 16, 2026, under a three-year term with an estimated total cost not to exceed $461,000; and Hillsborough County posted an RFQ for UMA 250 woven polyester dust-collector bags (707 mm flat width × 564 mm length) for a lime house facility, with proposals due July 10, 2026. A Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment posted in May 2026 is unrelated to dust collection and does not represent relevant activity under this code.
