UNSPSC 40161507: Filter membranes

UNSPSC 40161507 Filter membranes is a Commodity code that covers filtration products state and local governments procure for fleet maintenance, water treatment, and facility operations—including air filters for HVAC systems, automotive oil and fuel filters, and specialized membrane and valve assemblies for water infrastructure. The issuing bodies span city transportation departments, county water authorities, school districts, and transit agencies; cities and school districts appear most frequently in recent activity. Work solicited includes air filter supply contracts for municipal fleets and public schools (the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases sought air filters under IFB BMB005277 due July 23, 2026; Pinellas County School District solicited motor vehicle filters under RFQ 26AM010 due July 27, 2026), bulk oil and lubricant procurement for transit systems and municipal operations (Columbus Consolidated Government requested oils and lubricants for METRA Transit on an as-needed basis, bids due March 11, 2026), and specialized filtration components for water treatment plants (Alameda County Water District requested detector check valves under IFB 26/27-01 due July 14, 2026; Gwinnett County solicited replacement check valves for the F. Wayne Hill Water Resources Center, bids due April 24, 2026). Contracts typically run one to five years with firm pricing and delivery within 24 to 48 hours of order.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Midwest, with standout solicitations in Florida (Pinellas County Schools, Sarasota County School Board, Collier County, City of Tampa, City of Gainesville), Georgia (City of Valdosta, Gwinnett County, Columbus Consolidated Government), Texas (City of Lubbock, METRO Harris County), and broader Midwest and Western coverage including South Dakota, Kansas, Arizona, California, Missouri, and New York. The City of Bridgeport BID for air filters (BMB005277, due July 23, 2026) illustrates the scope: 92 line items across five filter product families (AEROPLEAT IV, GEOPLEAT, AEROPAC, AIRFLOW PLEAT M10) in MERV 8 through 15 ratings, all ASHRAE-compliant and UL Class 900 listed, with firm pricing through 2029 and delivery to schools and city facilities. Competitive procurement dominates; most opportunities are IFBs or RFQs with tight response windows (typically 14 to 30 days), and awarded contracts commonly extend to multiple jurisdictions or cooperative purchasing vehicles, as evidenced by the Illinois joint purchase master contract for aftermarket vehicle parts through Sourcewell (NAPA Auto Parts, $7.5 million award, May 2026 effective date).
