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, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities show three jurisdictions soliciting equipment and parts entirely unrelated to sand filtration: the City of Salem, Oregon procuring a specialized waste-processing machine (Puma 2400 ECO), Pinellas County Utilities seeking mixer parts and accessories for water treatment operations, and Orange County, Florida acquiring rigging motors and hoisting equipment for convention center events. A fourth opportunity from Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative, concerns law enforcement equipment available to multiple states and public entities. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and the posted solicitations appear to reflect miscategorization or data-entry errors rather than genuine sand-filter procurement.

The geographic spread of posted opportunities spans Oregon, Florida, and a multi-state cooperative anchored in Minnesota, with no pattern suggesting concentrated sand-filter buying activity. The City of Salem's sole-source procurement of the Puma 2400 ECO Machine closed July 15, 2026 with an award value of $424,494.70. Pinellas County Utilities' ITQ 26-0647 for mixer parts and accessories ran June 23 to June 30, 2026, referencing a prior blanket purchase agreement and covering performance across Pinellas County and Clewiston City. Orange County's Invitation for Bids Y26-605 for rigging motors and equipment closed March 5, 2026 and specified new equipment delivery within 60 days on an F.O.B. Destination basis. None of these solicitations reflect sand-filter supply, installation, maintenance, or related services that would characterize genuine activity under this code.
