UNSPSC 40161511: Coalescing filters

UNSPSC 40161511 Coalescing filters is a Commodity code covering specialized industrial separation and fluid-treatment equipment procured by state and local governments for facility operations, utilities infrastructure, and specialized equipment support. Recent solicitations under this code show mixed scope — the Orange County, Florida Convention Center's April 2026 IFB sought rigging motors and chain-hoist equipment rather than filtration products, suggesting occasional code-tagging misalignment in state and local systems. Legitimate filtration and separation activity appears in the City of Salem, Oregon's July 2026 sole-source acquisition of a Puma 2400 ECO Machine for $424,494.70 from USG Umweltservice and Pinellas County Utilities' June 2026 ITQ for Invent Mixer Parts & Accessories supporting wastewater treatment operations. Issuing bodies span city utilities departments, county utilities authorities, and municipal convention and facilities operations; activity does not show dominance by a single jurisdiction type.

Geographic activity centers on Florida (Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Pinellas County Utilities spanning Pinellas County and Clewiston City) and the Pacific Northwest (City of Salem, Oregon). A multi-state cooperative purchasing RFP from Sourcewell (State of Minnesota LGU) issued in May 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment appears unrelated to coalescing filtration and suggests additional code-tagging noise in recent opportunities. The most concrete recent filtration-relevant solicitations are the City of Salem sole-source award with a July 16, 2026 protest deadline and Pinellas County Utilities' compressed six-day ITQ window (June 23–30, 2026) for a parts procurement tied to an existing blanket purchase agreement. Dollar activity is limited; only the Salem equipment acquisition carries a published value.
