UNSPSC 41104917: Laboratory environmental filters

UNSPSC 41104917 Laboratory environmental filters is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show a weak alignment with its nominal scope. The code shows activity across environmental and laboratory filtration applications, though the term "laboratory environmental filters" does not fully capture the breadth of work being solicited. State and local governments are procuring activated carbon media and filter replacements for life support and water quality systems, disposable filter capsules for geotechnical testing, and components for oyster hatchery and research center filtration systems. The issuing bodies span county and municipal authorities, state environmental protection agencies, and special-purpose districts — Fulton County Georgia, the City of Palm Bay Florida, the State of Mississippi, the State of Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, and the Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Government. One solicitation (Fulton County fire and rescue equipment) appears unrelated to the code's filtration scope, suggesting occasional tagging misalignment in state and local procurement systems.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Florida, Illinois, and Mississippi. Representative opportunities include the State of Illinois Environmental Protection Agency procuring 2,350 disposable geotech filter capsules (0.45-micrometer pore size, 350 square centimeters surface area) under small purchase acquisition method 26532EPAWATERB51382 with a response date of March 16, 2026; the Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Government issuing IFB 260185 for removal and replacement of approximately 235 cubic feet of granulated activated carbon for three Neptune Benson Filter vessels at the Louisville Zoo, with bids due March 26, 2026; and the State of Mississippi seeking filtration components and associated items for the Oyster Hatchery and Research Center under IFB 9280-26-R-IFBD-00047, with bids due May 29, 2026. The City of Palm Bay Florida issued ITB 19ITB26 for laboratory testing services (due March 13, 2026, with three vendors bidding), which includes courier and sampling services but does not directly involve filter procurement.
