UNSPSC 41104214: Reverse osmosis equipment parts and accessories

Equipment and accessories that increase the pressure of the high concentration side, it can make water pass from the high salt concentration side to the one with low concentration

UNSPSC 41104214 Reverse osmosis equipment parts and accessories, a Commodity code, covers maintenance, replacement components, and consumables for RO water treatment systems that state and local governments operate for potable water production, facility operations, and laboratory compliance. The code encompasses equipment parts (membranes, cartridges, media), chemical consumables (chlorine, pH buffers), and service labor—inspection, flushing, testing, and diagnostics—rather than system design or new equipment procurement. State and local buyers span county facilities management (sheriff's offices, detention centers), school districts, municipal water departments, regional transit and convention authorities, and specialized agencies such as wildlife departments and university research operations. The mix reflects distributed, mission-critical water systems in law enforcement, education, hospitality, and public-health facilities that require routine preventive maintenance and rapid emergency response to keep systems operational and compliant with permit and potable-water standards.

Recent solicitations show sustained activity across the South, Southwest, and California. The County of Orange, California Sheriff-Coroner is soliciting rental and maintenance of 25 reverse osmosis systems with coolers at the Theo Lacy Facility through an IFB posted October 1, 2026 with bids due October 29, 2026; the scope includes biweekly flushing, monthly chlorine maintenance, annual media replacement, and on-call diagnostic services under a five-year firm fixed-fee contract.

San Mateo County Sheriff's Office sought preventive-maintenance proposals for two laboratory water purification systems—a Millipore Elix 20 and a Milli-Q Advantage A10—with responses due September 9, 2026 (RFP 2027RFP00069), requiring original manufacturer parts and factory-trained personnel; the initial term is one year with two optional one-year renewals. The School Board of Marion County, Florida solicited water softener installation and repair services for twelve campus cafeterias (RFP #4123AM, proposals due June 10, 2026), including monthly water analysis and compliance with specified hardness, pH, and dissolved-solids parameters. Activity concentrates in California, Florida, Georgia, and Texas, with emerging demand from school districts and state agencies managing potable and ultrapure water systems for laboratories, detention facilities, and food service operations.
