UNSPSC 40161532: Filter strainer

Filter composed of mesh material of coarseness of 50 microns or more.

UNSPSC 40161532 Filter strainer is a Commodity code covering filtration and straining equipment that state and local governments procure for water treatment, wastewater management, and utility operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing mixer parts and accessories, specialized environmental machinery, and law enforcement support equipment under this code — a scope that diverges substantially from the nominal "filter strainer" designation. The issuing bodies span utility districts, city procurement offices, and multi-jurisdiction cooperative purchasing vehicles. Pinellas County Utilities in Florida and the City of Salem, Oregon represent direct municipal and county utility buyers; Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle, aggregates demand across multiple states and entity types including counties, cities, school districts, and public agencies.

Recent activity centers on Florida and Oregon. The City of Salem, Oregon issued a sole-source procurement (SKS004300017442) for a Puma 2400 ECO Machine valued at $424,494.70 with a July 15, 2026 response date. Pinellas County Utilities in Florida solicited Invent Mixer Parts & Accessories under ITQ 26-0647, due June 30, 2026, with performance spanning Pinellas County and Clewiston City. Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, due June 16, 2026, represents a cooperative purchasing initiative spanning Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, Yakima County (Washington), and numerous other jurisdictions nationwide. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement mix suggests this code may be used inconsistently across jurisdictions for equipment that falls outside traditional filtration and straining categories.
