UNSPSC 40161519: Panel filters

UNSPSC 40161519 Panel filters is a Commodity code that captures industrial equipment and machinery components, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show limited direct relevance to the nominal scope. The three recent opportunities in the data—a Puma 2400 ECO Machine from the City of Salem, Oregon; Invent Mixer Parts & Accessories from Pinellas County Utilities in Florida; and a Law Enforcement Equipment cooperative procurement through Sourcewell—diverge substantially from panel-filter procurement. Only the mixer-parts solicitation approaches peripheral relevance to industrial filtration or component supply; the sole-source Puma machine and law enforcement equipment RFP fall outside the code's expected scope. Issuing bodies in the recent record include a municipal purchasing office (Salem), a county utility department (Pinellas County), and a state cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell), suggesting the code sees activity across city, county, and multi-jurisdictional contracting structures when it does generate opportunities.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast, with recent opportunities posted by Oregon, Florida, and a Minnesota cooperative serving multi-state participation including Washington counties. The three most recent solicitations are the Salem Puma machine procurement (sole-source IFB, $424,494.70, award dated July 16, 2026), the Pinellas County Utilities mixer parts ITQ (due June 30, 2026, spanning Pinellas County and Clewiston City, Florida, potentially a BPA renewal under prior ITB 22-0279), and the Sourcewell Law Enforcement Equipment RFP (due June 16, 2026, multi-state cooperative framework). The code shows light recent volume; a business development professional evaluating this code should verify whether its nominal taxonomy aligns with actual procurement needs or whether mislabeling by issuing bodies has degraded its utility as a targeting signal.
