UNSPSC 72154061: Air filtration service

Service to provide rental and maintenance of filtration and supported equipment and materials to remove dust and particulates from air

UNSPSC 72154061 Air filtration service (Commodity) encompasses tank cleaning, inspection, maintenance, and specialized fluid handling services state and local governments purchase to preserve storage tank infrastructure and compliance. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers procuring chemical tank cleaning with disposal, emulsion tank maintenance with component replacement, asphalt storage tank preventive care, and bilge facility removal with tank replacement—work that extends well beyond air filter supply into hazardous material handling, confined-space operations, tank restoration, and infrastructure lifecycle management. The mix of issuing bodies includes county procurement departments, state transportation agencies, municipal utilities, and school districts, with repeat activity from Texas Department of Transportation and Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners.

Activity concentrates in the South and Southeast, with recent solicitations from Florida (Palm Beach County), Texas (TxDOT at Stratford Maintenance Office, City of Huntsville), Georgia (Cherokee County School District, Athens-Clarke County, DeKalb County, City of Rome), and Connecticut (City of Meriden). Palm Beach County posted twin IFBs in October 2026 for chemical tank cleaning, removal, and disposal of sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide tanks under a term contract, with bids due November 16, 2026 at 4:00 p.m., a 5% local preference, and mandatory pre-bid conference and site inspection; Amendment 1 has been posted. Cherokee County School District issued an RFP (AFS2026) in May 2026 for district-wide HVAC air filter services across 52 schools and administrative facilities, requiring quarterly Merv 8 or Merv 9 filter supply and installation, with proposals due May 28, 2026 and contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 on an all-or-none basis.
