UNSPSC 40161707: Separators

A machine or device that separates something into its constituent or distinct elements.

UNSPSC 40161707 Separators, a Commodity code, covers compressed-air treatment equipment — specifically air dryers and related filtration or separation devices — that state and local governments procure for water treatment, wastewater operations, and general municipal facilities management. Recent solicitations show procurement of refrigerated air dryers, reciprocating and rotary screw compressor dryers from manufacturers including Schulz, Gardner Denver, Ingersoll Rand, Kaeser, and Atlas Copco, along with associated repair parts and service support. City water and wastewater utilities dominate the issuing-body mix; the City of Phoenix and City of Tampa represent the most visible recent buyers under this code.

Activity concentrates in the Southwest and Southeast. The City of Phoenix issued IFB 260359 in September 2026 for a five-year air compressor, dryer, parts, and services contract covering seven water treatment and wastewater facilities, with a response deadline of June 24, 2026 and DBE-N compliance requirements under Federal Transit Administration oversight. The City of Tampa issued RFQ 26-P-00274 in April 2026 for six units of Schulz ADS50 Refrigerated Air Dryers, with a response deadline of April 24, 2026 and a one-year award term. Both solicitations required FOB Destination delivery, E-Verify compliance, and adherence to municipal ethics and non-discrimination standards. No significant recent activity appears in other states or jurisdictions in the available records.
