UNSPSC 41104911: Laboratory air filtration systems

UNSPSC 41104911 Laboratory air filtration systems (Commodity) covers the supply and maintenance of filtration media, components, and systems used across state and local water treatment, wastewater management, environmental monitoring, and emergency-response operations. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers purchasing activated carbon filter replacements for exhibit life-support systems, disposable filter capsules for water quality testing, filtration components for aquaculture research facilities, and comprehensive maintenance services for self-contained breathing apparatus and breathing air systems. The issuing bodies span county fire and rescue departments, state environmental and natural resource agencies, municipal water and wastewater utilities, and specialized facilities such as zoos and research centers.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast and Midwest. Representative recent solicitations include Fulton County, Georgia's IFB for fire and rescue equipment and SCBA breathing air system maintenance services (due July 28, 2026), the State of Mississippi's procurement for filtration components at the Oyster Hatchery and Research Center (IFB 9280-26-R-IFBD-00047, due May 29, 2026), the Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Government's IFB for activated carbon replacement at the Glacier Run Exhibit (IFB260185, due March 26, 2026), and the State of Illinois Environmental Protection Agency's small-purchase acquisition of 2,350 disposable geotech filter capsules (26532EPAWATERB51382, due March 16, 2026). The City of Palm Bay, Florida recently awarded laboratory testing services (ITB 19ITB26) encompassing water, wastewater, and industrial pretreatment program support, though this opportunity is tangential to the code's core scope—the mismatch suggests some jurisdictions tag laboratory services generically under filtration codes despite minimal alignment with actual product procurement.
