UNSPSC 41101900: Laboratory ionic equipment

UNSPSC 41101900 Laboratory ionic equipment is a Class code under which state and local governments procure water treatment membranes, filtration systems, and related ionic separation equipment for municipal water recycling and wastewater treatment plants. The scope of work encompasses reverse osmosis membrane elements, microfiltration membranes, spare parts, and turnkey installation and maintenance services for facilities treating potable water, recycled water, and wastewater. Issuing bodies include municipal water districts, city public works departments, county administrative services, and universities. West Basin Municipal Water District in California has posted multiple solicitations under or near this code within the past four months, indicating repeat buyer activity in the water recycling segment.
