UNSPSC 41104212: Water filtration cartridges

UNSPSC 41104212 Water filtration cartridges is a Commodity code that captures replacement filter media and cartridge units for water treatment, stormwater management, and potable water systems across municipal water authorities, cities, counties, and special districts. Recent state and local solicitations show governments purchasing water treatment cartridge filters for sediment removal at treatment plants, drinking fountain and ice machine filter replacements across school districts, stormwater inlet filter cartridges with fabric linings for curb management, and microfiltration membrane cartridges for recycled water facilities. The work involves both consumable filter replacement on a regular cycle (typically every six months) and one-time system component procurement tied to facility upgrades or new infrastructure.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, Arizona, North Carolina, California, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the City of Tucson establishing an annual requirements contract for water treatment cartridge filters at the Tucson Airport Remediation Project Water Treatment Plant (ITB, due October 30, 2026); Hillsborough County Public Schools procuring drinking fountain and ice machine filter replacement services across 235 schools and administrative offices with NSF/ANSI 42, 53, and 372 certifications required (ITB 26233-ITB-MST, due August 12, 2026, with Addendum 1 extending the deadline); the City of Richardson, Texas issuing an RFB for curb inlet filter installation and maintenance covering approximately 193 filters with estimated annual cost of $145,000 (due September 3, 2026); and West Basin Municipal Water District conducting a two-phase RFQ for pre-qualification of submerged microfiltration membrane suppliers for the Edward C. Little Water Recycling Facility in Los Angeles County (SOQ due May 26, 2026). Issuing bodies are predominantly municipal water departments and utilities, school districts managing facility maintenance, and regional water authorities managing treatment and recycling infrastructure. Geographic spread reflects sunbelt and coastal concentration with activity in Florida, Georgia, Texas, California, and North Carolina, though opportunities emerge nationwide wherever water treatment infrastructure requires consumable filter replacement on contract or as part of system upgrades.
