UNSPSC 40161522: Filter Fins

UNSPSC 40161522 Filter Fins, a Commodity code, encompasses specialized equipment and replacement parts for industrial and municipal infrastructure operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show demand for both discrete filter and fin components and integrated machinery incorporating such systems. The City of Salem, Oregon procured a Puma 2400 ECO Machine—a specialized equipment unit—under sole-source authority from USG Umweltservice for $424,494.70 (due July 15, 2026). Pinellas County Utilities in Florida solicited Invent Mixer Parts & Accessories under ITQ 26-0647 with a June 30, 2026 deadline, suggesting continuation of an existing blanket purchase agreement. Orange County, Florida's invitation for bids on rigging motors and equipment reflects tangential application of filtration-related UNSPSC taxonomy to non-filter equipment; this opportunity shows minimal alignment with the code's core scope. The issuing bodies are primarily single-jurisdiction utilities and counties pursuing renewal or replacement procurement, with one cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment RFP) showing broader multi-state participation potential, though that opportunity also shows weak topical alignment with filter fins.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida (Pinellas County Utilities, Orange County) and Oregon (City of Salem), with the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP extending reach across Washington, Minnesota, and other states. The compressed six-day proposal window for Pinellas County's mixer parts procurement and the sole-source justification for Salem's machinery purchase suggest both urgent replacement needs and established vendor relationships. The code shows limited recent activity overall and material misalignment between posted opportunities (law enforcement equipment, rigging motors) and the filter fins taxonomy, indicating either inconsistent state-local coding practices or low contemporaneous demand under this specific commodity classification.
