UNSPSC 41101900: Laboratory ionic equipment

UNSPSC 41101900 Laboratory ionic equipment is a Class code covering water softening and treatment equipment, catalyst units, and related microfiltration components that state and local governments procure for municipal water systems, wastewater facilities, and institutional food-service operations. Recent solicitations show purchasing departments, water treatment authorities, and school districts acquiring replacement drive shafts for water softeners, catalyst media for ozone destruction, submerged microfiltration membranes, and lab supplies from vendors including WesTech Engineering and IDEXX. The scope spans equipment procurement, installation, monthly water analysis and monitoring, replacement parts, and associated turnkey commissioning services. Issuing bodies include municipal water districts, city water treatment plants, independent school districts, and county governments; the North Texas Municipal Water District, West Basin Municipal Water District, and the City of Holly Hill have solicited under this code in recent months, along with Marion County Schools and Dallas Independent School District.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with notable procurement from California (West Basin), North Carolina (NC State University), and Texas.

The Marion County School Board's RFP #4123AM (due June 10, 2026) for water softener equipment, installation, and monthly water analysis across twelve campus cafeterias illustrates the institutional food-service segment.
