UNSPSC 41104918: Laboratory glass filters

UNSPSC 41104918 Laboratory glass filters is a Commodity code for specialized filtration components used in laboratory and research settings. State and local governments procure laboratory glass filters primarily through research and aquaculture facilities that require precision filtration systems meeting specific technical and operational standards. The code encompasses filter media, filter housings, and associated filtration components designed for scientific and hatchery applications where water or fluid quality directly affects research outcomes or specimen viability. Issuing bodies include state natural-resource and agricultural departments operating research facilities, alongside county and municipal fire rescue services that may procure filtration components as part of broader equipment maintenance or respiratory-system servicing contracts.

Recent activity shows the State of Mississippi posting an IFB for filtration components and associated items to support the Oyster Hatchery and Research Center (solicitation 9280-26-R-IFBD-00047, due May 29, 2026), which represents direct procurement of laboratory and research-grade filtration equipment. A second opportunity from Fulton County, Georgia—an IFB for fire and rescue tools, equipment, and self-contained breathing apparatus maintenance (PE66062NONST2027000000447, due July 28, 2026)—appears tagged to this code but centers on powered rescue equipment, SCBA systems, and maintenance services rather than laboratory glass filters, suggesting potential cataloging misalignment. The Mississippi solicitation indicates active state-level procurement in the sector; geographic concentration data from recent opportunities is limited to these two postings.
