UNSPSC 40161703: Mist eliminators

UNSPSC 40161703 Mist eliminators, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The four most recent opportunities tagged under this code involve water and wastewater treatment plant equipment and chemicals—lineshaft pump bowl assemblies, primary clarifier mechanisms, replacement drive shafts for softener units, and powdered activated carbon and other treatment chemicals—none of which fall within the scope of mist elimination or vapor-recovery equipment. The code shows no relevant recent solicitations and exhibits a clear mismatch between its nominal commodity scope and the work actually being procured by issuing bodies that have applied this classification.

State and local purchasing offices in Georgia, Florida, Arizona, and North Carolina have posted opportunities under this code in the past four months, but none involve mist eliminators as traditionally defined. The City of LaGrange, Georgia posted an IFB on May 7, 2026, due June 8, 2026, for water and wastewater treatment chemicals including activated carbon, aluminum sulfate, chlorine, and caustic soda; the City of Charlotte, North Carolina posted an ITB on March 12, 2026, due April 8, 2026, for a primary clarifier mechanism for the McDowell Creek Water Resource Recovery Facility; and the City of Tucson posted a requirements contract solicitation on March 27, 2026, for lineshaft pump bowl assemblies. Firms pursuing state and local water-sector work should monitor actual commodity classifications rather than relying on this code for market insight.
