UNSPSC 40161518: Microfiber filters

UNSPSC 40161518 Microfiber filters is a Commodity code covering specialized filtration equipment and components purchased by state and local governments for wastewater treatment, environmental remediation, and industrial processing applications. Recent state and local solicitations show procurement of specific equipment platforms — such as microfiber filter machines and associated mixer parts and accessories — rather than standalone filter media. The issuing bodies span county utilities departments, municipal public works divisions, and cooperative purchasing consortia that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions and agency types. Salem's procurement of a Puma 2400 ECO Machine from USG Umweltservice under sole-source authority exemplifies the specialized and often proprietary nature of equipment in this space, where vendors and equipment models dominate the sourcing decision.

Recent activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast. Salem, Oregon procured filtration equipment valued at $424,494.70 with a response deadline of July 15, 2026 under sole-source authority (SKS004300017442). Pinellas County Utilities in Florida issued an ITQ for Invent Mixer Parts & Accessories due June 30, 2026, with performance spanning Pinellas County and Clewiston City (ITQ 26-0647). Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle, released RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of participating entities in Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) with a June 16, 2026 deadline—though this opportunity appears misaligned with the microfiber-filters code's nominal scope and may reflect tagging error rather than relevant activity under this commodity.
