UNSPSC 40161518: Microfiber filters

UNSPSC 40161518 Microfiber filters is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to tag equipment and parts procurements that include filtration or environmental remediation components, though the recent solicitations under this code show limited direct alignment with the code's nominal scope. The City of Salem, Oregon solicited a Puma 2400 ECO Machine from USG Umweltservice under sole-source authority in July 2026 for $424,494.70, and Pinellas County Utilities in Florida issued an ITQ in June 2026 for Invent Mixer Parts & Accessories with a compressed six-day proposal window. Issuing bodies span municipal departments (City of Salem), county utilities (Pinellas County), and cooperative purchasing vehicles. However, a significant portion of recent activity—including an RFP issued by Sourcewell (a Minnesota service cooperative) in May 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment and an Orange County, Florida IFB in April 2026 for Rigging Motors and Equipment—appears plainly unrelated to microfiber filtration and suggests tagging inconsistencies in how jurisdictions classify equipment procurements under this code.

Recent activity surfaces primarily in Florida (Pinellas County, Orange County) and Oregon (City of Salem), with multi-state reach through Sourcewell's cooperative vehicle serving Washington counties and numerous participating entities nationwide. The two solicitations most closely tied to the code's filtration scope are the City of Salem's sole-source Puma machine procurement (due July 15, 2026, awarded July 16, 2026) and Pinellas County Utilities' ITQ for mixer parts and accessories (due June 30, 2026, with place of performance spanning Pinellas County and Clewiston City). The Orange County rigging-equipment IFB and Sourcewell law-enforcement-equipment RFP represent misaligned tagging and do not reflect actual microfiber-filter purchasing activity. No estimated contract values or term lengths are provided for the Pinellas County procurement, and the code shows no repeat or standout buyers in the available recent opportunities.
