UNSPSC 41104917: Laboratory environmental filters

UNSPSC 41104917 Laboratory environmental filters is a Commodity code that covers filtration components and replacement parts for laboratory, environmental, and research facility operations. State and local governments procure these items for water treatment, air quality monitoring, hatchery operations, and related environmental or life-science applications where controlled filtration is mission-critical. Issuing bodies include state natural-resource and aquaculture agencies, county fire and rescue departments, and specialized research facilities. The work is typically straightforward supply procurement — vendors provide off-the-shelf or custom-specified filter media, cartridges, housings, and associated consumables to replace worn or saturated elements in existing filtration systems.

Recent activity appears limited. The State of Mississippi posted an IFB in May 2026 (solicitation 9280-26-R-IFBD-00047, due May 29, 2026) seeking filtration components and associated items for the Oyster Hatchery and Research Center, though detailed specifications were not disclosed in the opportunity summary. A July 2026 Fulton County, Georgia IFB for fire and rescue tools and self-contained breathing apparatus maintenance (PE66062NONST2027000000447, due July 28, 2026) was tagged under this code but addresses powered equipment, breathing apparatus servicing, and rescue tools — work that does not align with laboratory environmental filters. The mismatch suggests either an index error or an overly broad categorization; the code shows little relevant recent state and local activity as currently tagged in available records.
