UNSPSC 40161805: Filter cloth

UNSPSC 40161805 Filter cloth (Commodity) covers specialized filtration media and components that state and local governments procure for operational and research applications. The work spans replacement filter media, filter cartridges, and related consumables used in fire rescue breathing air systems, industrial filtration equipment, water treatment, and aquaculture research facilities. Issuing bodies include county fire departments, state environmental and research agencies, and special-purpose facilities. The code appears lightly active in recent state and local procurement, with solicitations driven by equipment maintenance cycles and facility-specific filtration needs rather than continuous or high-volume activity.

Recent opportunities show Mississippi and Georgia as active procurement sources. In May 2026, the State of Mississippi issued IFB 9280-26-R-IFBD-00047 seeking filtration components for the Oyster Hatchery and Research Center, with proposals due May 29, 2026. In July 2026, Fulton County, Georgia posted IFB/GS/AFRD/2606-1260224 for fire and rescue equipment and SCBA maintenance services, which includes filter cloth and consumables as part of a broader Group I powered-equipment and replacement-parts procurement; bids closed July 28, 2026. Both opportunities reflect specialized end-use demand — one for aquaculture research infrastructure, the other for firefighter safety systems — rather than commodity-level volume procurement. Vendors targeting this code should expect episodic solicitations tied to equipment replacement schedules and facility-specific maintenance contracts rather than standing demand.
