UNSPSC 41104212: Water filtration cartridges

UNSPSC 41104212 Water filtration cartridges is a Commodity code covering replacement filter elements and cartridges used in municipal water treatment, wastewater recycling, and potable water distribution systems. State and local governments procure these under this code as consumable maintenance supplies for ongoing operation of filtration infrastructure—sand filters, cartridge housings, microfiltration systems, and reverse osmosis equipment at water plants, recycling facilities, and distribution networks. The issuing bodies span municipal water utilities (West Basin Municipal Water District, Charlotte Water, City of Tampa/Hillsborough County), state environmental agencies (Maryland Environmental Service), county water and wastewater departments, city public works divisions, and special-purpose water districts. Recent solicitations show steady demand across utilities managing treatment capacity constraints and equipment lifecycle replacement.

Recent activity concentrates in California, Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, and New Mexico, with additional procurement in Illinois and Maryland. Representative recent opportunities include West Basin Municipal Water District's RFQ for 852 reverse osmosis membrane elements (8 x 40 inches) for the Juanita Millender-McDonald Carson Regional Water Recycling Plant, due February 26, 2026, with 60-day delivery and NSF Standard 61 certification required; West Basin's concurrent RFQ for submerged microfiltration membranes as direct replacements for Scinor PVDF SMT600-S26 or Memcor CMF-5 modules at the Edward C. Little Water Recycling Facility, with pre-qualification SOQs due May 26, 2026; Charlotte Water's ITB FY26-ITB-10 for a complete pressurized strainer-type filter system (three parallel units: two 10-micron, one 5-micron) for the Mallard Creek Water Resource Recovery Facility, due May 27, 2026, with Schneider Electric PLC integration and 18-week delivery; City of Tampa's RFQ for 600 units of 50-micron and 1,020 units of 20-micron polypropylene cartridges (TRI-DIM models), due February 19, 2026, with SLBE certification pre-qualification; and Illinois Secretary of State's RFQ for 48 units of HC-PP-170-0.20 filter elements, due January 29, 2026. The code captures both commodity-level consumable cartridge procurement (routine replenishment, as-needed supply agreements) and engineered system-level filter packages (complete skid-mounted units with controls and SCADA integration). NSF certifications (NSF 60, NSF 61, NSF-419), manufacturer compatibility requirements (existing tank and equipment constraints), and delivery timelines (24-hour to 18-week lead times) are consistent evaluation factors across jurisdictions.
