UNSPSC 41104901: Laboratory line filters

UNSPSC 41104901 Laboratory line filters (Commodity) covers the procurement of filtration consumables and replacement media for laboratory, environmental monitoring, water treatment, and specialized facility systems. State and local governments buy activated carbon filters, disposable filter capsules, geotech filter media, and related filter replacement components to support water quality testing, wastewater treatment, environmental research, and hazardous-material containment systems. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state environmental agencies, county and municipal water and wastewater utilities, city environmental departments, and specialized government facilities such as zoos and aquaculture operations. The mix reflects operational needs across environmental compliance, public health monitoring, and facility life-support systems rather than concentration in a single jurisdiction type.

Recent activity shows geographic spread across the Southeast and Midwest. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency issued a small purchase order in March 2026 for 2,350 disposable geotech filter capsules (26532EPAWATERB51382, due March 16, 2026); the State of Mississippi solicited filtration components for an oyster hatchery facility in May 2026 (9280-26-R-IFBD-00047, due May 29, 2026); the Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Government procured activated carbon and filter media replacements for a zoo life-support system in March 2026 (IFB260185, due March 26, 2026); and the City of Palm Bay, Florida solicited laboratory testing services encompassing water and wastewater analyses in April 2026 (19ITB26, due March 17, 2026). A tangential July 2026 Fulton County, Georgia fire and rescue equipment RFB (PE66062NONST2027000000447, due July 28, 2026) includes SCBA breathing apparatus maintenance but does not directly align with laboratory line filtration scope. Contract values for recent procurements range from under $50,000 (Illinois geotech filters) to mid-five-figure historical spending (Palm Bay laboratory services at $95,440 annually in 2025), with unit pricing typically under $500 per filter or media replacement item.
