UNSPSC 41104205: Ultra violet water purification units

UNSPSC 41104205 Ultra violet water purification units is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations covers a much broader scope than the code name alone suggests — it encompasses water treatment equipment replacement, maintenance, and chemicals procurement, as well as water system sales. State and local governments buying under this code are replacing aging drive shaft equipment at treatment plants, procuring deionized and reverse osmosis water systems maintenance services, installing water fountains and coolers in schools, and sourcing treatment chemicals for ongoing operations. The issuing bodies include municipal water departments (City of Holly Hill, Florida), county utility and public health agencies (Hillsborough County, Florida), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools), state universities (Texas State University), and special-purpose utility districts (Town of Cave Creek, Arizona). The code shows substantial mismatch between its nominal scope and what is actually being solicited — water fountains and cooler dispensers, stormwater infrastructure improvements, and water system asset sales are not ultraviolet purification units, yet they appear tagged to this code in recent postings.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Arizona, with scattered opportunities in Georgia, Oregon, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITB 26200-ITB-MST (posted September 21, 2026, closed June 23, 2026) for water fountains, coolers, dispensers, retrofit kits, parts, and installation labor with four vendor responses and Drains Etc named as primary awardee; Hillsborough County's sole-source notice SS2600330 (posted July 7, 2026, challenge deadline July 14, 2026) for deionized water systems maintenance services at an estimated cost of $76,530 over two years, directed to Thomas Water Purification LLC; and the City of Holly Hill's sole-source procurement for a WesTech DS43 drive shaft replacement at its Water Treatment Plant (posted October 19, 2026, originally due September 22, 2020) valued at $113,067. The Oregon Department of Forestry issued ITB PO-62900-00016916 (posted June 24, 2026, bids due July 28, 2026) for stormwater system improvements, and the City of LaGrange, Georgia solicited sealed bids for water treatment chemicals (posted May 7, 2026, due June 8, 2026) including activated carbon, aluminum sulfate, sodium chlorite, and chlorine for the Water Filter Plant and Wastewater Treatment Plant.
