UNSPSC 40161528: Sand filter

A type of filter for purifying domestic water, consisting of specially graded layers of aggregate and sand, through which the water flows slowly downwards.

UNSPSC 40161528 Sand filter (Commodity) encompasses water treatment equipment and related components that state and local governments procure for municipal utilities, wastewater systems, and environmental compliance. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring specific sand-filter machinery and replacement parts — a City of Salem, Oregon procurement named a Puma 2400 ECO Machine under sole-source authority, while Pinellas County Utilities solicited Invent Mixer Parts & Accessories, suggesting the code covers both finished equipment and supporting components for treatment infrastructure. Issuing bodies under this code include municipal utilities departments, county utilities authorities, and cities managing water or wastewater operations. The geographic footprint spans at least the Pacific Northwest and Florida, with activity rooted in operational needs of established utility systems rather than new-construction projects.

Salem, Oregon posted solicitation SKS004300017442 on July 9, 2026 for a Puma 2400 ECO Machine valued at $424,494.70 under sole-source procurement from USG Umweltservice, with an award date of July 16, 2026. Pinellas County Utilities issued ITQ 26-0647 on June 23, 2026 with a June 30, 2026 response deadline for Invent Mixer Parts & Accessories, referencing an existing blanket purchase agreement (BPA 457764) and spanning performance locations in Pinellas County and Clewiston City, Florida. A third opportunity — Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 deadline — appears to be mistagged to this sand-filter code and does not reflect typical activity under the Commodity designation. Activity remains sparse and episodic; the code does not show volume-level procurement patterns across state and local jurisdictions.
