UNSPSC 41104906: Reverse osmosis filtration equipment

UNSPSC 41104906 Reverse osmosis filtration equipment is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show a sharp disconnect from the code's nominal scope. Of five recent solicitations, only one—the State of Mississippi's May 2026 procurement for filtration components at an Oyster Hatchery and Research Center—appears to touch on actual filtration equipment; the remainder cover fire and rescue equipment maintenance (Fulton County, Georgia IFB, July 2026), laboratory testing services (City of Palm Bay, Florida ITB, March 2026), granulated activated carbon replacement at a zoo exhibit (Louisville/Jefferson County Metro IFB, March 2026), and disposable geotech filter capsules for water testing (State of Illinois Environmental Protection Agency small purchase, March 2026). Of these, only the Illinois procurement and the Mississippi hatchery solicitation represent equipment that could reasonably fit the reverse osmosis or broader water-filtration taxonomy; the others appear to be tagged mismatches. The issuing bodies span state environmental and natural-resource agencies, county and city public utilities and service departments, and independent zoo operations.

The geographic activity is scattered across Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, and Kentucky, with no clear concentration. The only opportunity with explicit equipment scope relevant to filtration systems is the State of Mississippi's 9280-26-R-IFBD-00047 (May 29, 2026 response date), which solicited filtration components for the Oyster Hatchery and Research Center; the Illinois EPA's 26532EPAWATERB51382 (March 16, 2026) procurement of 2,350 disposable geotech filter capsules at 0.45-micrometer pore size represents a consumables buy rather than equipment. The code shows little robust recent activity aligned with reverse osmosis or large-scale water-treatment filtration procurement; tagging inconsistency in state and local systems has diluted the signal, making this code difficult to assess as a reliable market indicator for filtration equipment vendors.
