UNSPSC 40161535: Crankcase ventilation (CCV) filter

Crankcase ventilation (CCV) filter is part of a vehicle's crankcase ventilation system in internal combustion engines. This filter removes oil particles and other debris in the gases while releasing excess pressure on the environment.

UNSPSC 40161535 Crankcase ventilation (CCV) filter, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The four most recent opportunities tagged under this code span equipment wholly unrelated to engine crankcase ventilation filters — including a specialized waste-processing machine (City of Salem, Oregon), mixer parts for wastewater treatment (Pinellas County Utilities, Florida), law enforcement equipment through a cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington and other jurisdictions), and rigging motors and lifting equipment for an events venue (Orange County, Florida Convention Center). None of these solicitations involve CCV filters or related engine components, suggesting either systematic miscoding at the point of posting or that state and local buyers rarely—if ever—tag actual CCV filter purchases under this code.

The issuing bodies represent a mix of direct municipal and county procurement offices (City of Salem, Pinellas County Utilities, Orange County) alongside regional cooperative purchasing structures (Sourcewell serving Washington counties and broader multi-state memberships). Geographic activity spans Oregon, Florida, Washington, and Minnesota, though the actual work-product alignment to the code is too weak to support a reliable characterization of where real CCV filter demand concentrates. Without recent opportunities that document genuine crankcase ventilation filter procurement, the code presents negligible pursuit opportunity for vendors in that product category. A business development professional should verify with state and local procurement offices directly whether they tag CCV filter purchases under an alternative code or whether this particular commodity sees minimal public-sector acquisition.
