UNSPSC 41104925: Laboratory filtration hardware or accessories

UNSPSC 41104925 Laboratory filtration hardware or accessories is a Commodity code covering consumable and replacement filtration components used across water, wastewater, environmental, and specialized laboratory systems in state and local operations. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local governments procuring activated carbon filter media, disposable filter capsules, filter vessel replacements, and related filtration supplies for treatment facilities, research centers, and environmental compliance programs. The issuing bodies span state environmental agencies, county and city water and wastewater utilities, and specialized public facilities such as zoos and hatcheries. Work under the code includes removal and replacement of filter media at installed systems, supply of consumable filter cartridges and capsules to specification, and associated hardware such as gaskets, under-drain components, and pea gravel media.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Midwest. The State of Illinois Environmental Protection Agency issued a small purchase for 2,350 disposable geotech filter capsules (0.45-micrometer pore size) with a proposal due date of March 16, 2026, under solicitation 26532EPAWATERB51382. The Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Government's Louisville Zoo procured granulated activated carbon and filter media replacement for three Neptune Benson Filter vessels through IFB260185, due March 26, 2026. The State of Mississippi sought filtration components for its Oyster Hatchery and Research Center under IFB 9280-26-R-IFBD-00047, due May 29, 2026. Fulton County, Georgia issued a broader IFB for fire and rescue equipment and maintenance services on July 10, 2026 that includes SCBA and breathing air system maintenance (due July 28, 2026), which appears tangential to the core filtration hardware code. The City of Palm Bay, Florida issued ITB 19-ITB-26 for laboratory testing services spanning water and wastewater analysis—a services contract rather than a filtration hardware procurement, suggesting occasional code-tagging misalignment in state and local procurement systems.
