UNSPSC 40161505 Air filters (Commodity) covers supplies and equipment for HVAC systems, vehicle maintenance, and water treatment infrastructure. State and local governments procure engine and transmission filters for fleet operations, HVAC pleated media filters for buildings and schools, and specialized industrial filters for water treatment plants. The code also captures filter-adjacent services including installation, quarterly change-outs, cross-referencing, and inventory management. Issuing bodies span school districts (Cherokee County Schools in Georgia, Pinellas County Schools in Florida, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Klein Independent School District in Texas), municipal water and transportation authorities (City of Phoenix Water Services, Orange County Transportation Authority, Alameda County Water District), county government (Colquitt County in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia, Bell County in Texas), and city procurement offices (City of Bridgeport, City of Lubbock, City of Tampa). School districts and transportation authorities appear frequently, reflecting ongoing demand for fleet filter replacement and facility maintenance.
