UNSPSC 41105000: Laboratory sieves and sifting equipment and supplies

UNSPSC 41105000 Laboratory sieves and sifting equipment and supplies is a Class code that encompasses filtration components, separation equipment, and related consumables purchased by state and local governments for specialized research, operational, and emergency-response facilities. Recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show minimal connection to the nominal laboratory-sieve scope; instead, buying appears driven by fire and rescue equipment procurement and aquaculture research support. Issuing bodies include county public-safety departments and state natural-resource or research agencies. The work being solicited spans powered rescue and ventilation equipment, breathing apparatus systems and maintenance services, and filtration components for hatchery operations—a broad set of items that diverges substantially from traditional laboratory sieving or fine-particle separation equipment typically associated with the code name.

Recent activity centers on Georgia and Mississippi. Fulton County, Georgia posted an IFB (PE66062NONST2027000000447) on July 10, 2026, due July 28, 2026, for fire and rescue tools, equipment, self-contained breathing apparatus, and related maintenance services across six groups, including powered ventilation and rescue equipment, forcible-entry tools, safety gear, and SCBA inspection and preventive-maintenance services—all subject to NFPA, OSHA, and NIOSH compliance. The State of Mississippi posted an IFB (9280-26-R-IFBD-00047) on May 11, 2026, due May 29, 2026, requesting filtration components and associated items for the Oyster Hatchery and Research Center. The code's classification appears misaligned with the substantive procurement activity it currently receives; business development professionals should verify with issuing bodies whether their offerings in fire-rescue equipment, breathing-apparatus maintenance, or specialized filtration actually fall under this code or require recoding to a more precise UNSPSC family.
