UNSPSC 40161807: Filter element

Filter element is a porous device which performs the actual process of filtration.

UNSPSC 40161807 Filter element is a Commodity code covering replacement membrane and filtration components for water treatment and recycling systems, drawn from recent solicitations in which state and local water districts and utilities are purchasing membranes, pressure vessels, and related filtration assembly replacements as parts of infrastructure rehabilitation and system upgrades. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county water utilities, municipal water districts, county schools, and public health facilities. Collier County in Florida recently issued a sealed bid (IFB No. 26-8646) for comprehensive rehabilitation of reverse osmosis (RO) treatment trains at its North County Regional Water Treatment Plant, requiring 1,512 RO elements, 252 new 600-psi pressure vessels, energy recovery devices, and associated mechanical components, with a project budget of $4,000,000.00 and bids due April 24, 2026. West Basin Municipal Water District in California issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) on June 25, 2026, for pre-qualified suppliers of submerged microfiltration (MF) membranes to serve as direct replacements for Scinor and Memcor modules at the Edward C. Little Water Recycling Facility, requiring NSF-60 and NSF-419 certifications and three years of municipal experience, with SOQ submissions due May 26, 2026.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Florida and California, with secondary activity in New York and Georgia. Forsyth County Schools in Georgia posted a smaller RFQ (P26-09) on June 22, 2026, for ERU filters with a July 7, 2026, due date, though minimal scope detail is available. Erie County Medical Center Corporation in New York issued an IFB (2026-02) on May 14, 2026, for underground storage tank removal and replacement, which includes ancillary fuel-system components but is not a primary filter-element procurement. The water treatment and recycling facilities dominate the code's recent activity, with emphasis on OEM-certified membrane replacements, NSF certifications for potable and recycled water compliance, and stainless-steel wetted-component materials. Incumbent vendors named in recent solicitations include Scinor and Memcor for membrane systems. No set-asides targeting disadvantaged enterprises are identified across these recent opportunities.
