UNSPSC 24102500: Plant equipment

Plant equipment means personal property of a capital nature (including equipment, machine tools, test equipment, furniture, vehicles, and accessory and auxiliary items) for use in manufacturing supplies, in performing services, or for any administrative or general plant purpose.

UNSPSC 24102500 Plant equipment is a Class code encompassing preventive maintenance, inspections, emergency repairs, and replacement installation of standby generators and related power systems at state and local facilities. State and local governments buy under this code primarily diesel, natural gas, and portable generators ranging from 12 kW to 1,500 kW, along with automatic transfer switches and associated load bank testing and fuel system services for mission-critical infrastructure including detention facilities, water treatment plants, hospitals, fire stations, wastewater facilities, airport IT infrastructure, and emergency operations centers. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, county commissioners' courts, municipal utilities, water authorities, fire rescue departments, corrections agencies, and higher-education institutions. Texas Health and Human Services Commission emerges as a standout repeat buyer, posting multiple RFP/RFB solicitations throughout June and July 2026 for generator maintenance at state supported living centers and other facilities. Issuing bodies also span Georgia (Atlanta Department of Watershed Management, Glynn County, Tifton, Milton, White County), Illinois (Secretary of State, Department of Natural Resources), Florida (Hillsborough County, New Smyrna Beach, Cooper City), Texas (Williamson County, Burnet County, Collin County, Department of Public Safety, Texas General Land Office), and other states including Colorado, Wisconsin, Washington, and the District of Columbia.

Recent opportunities cluster around three types of work: (1) maintenance contracts for existing generator fleets covering quarterly/annual inspections, preventive maintenance, load bank testing, and 24-hour emergency repair response, exemplified by Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017499 for generator preventive maintenance at San Angelo State Supported Living Center (bids due July 27, 2026) and Denton County RFP CSP262910 for electrical and generator upgrades at four government facilities (proposals due August 6, 2026); (2) generator replacement and installation projects with equipment procurement and commissioning, including Collin County IFB 2026-063 for generator replacement at an adult detention facility and Burnet County sealed bid 26560001 for a turnkey 230 kW diesel generator system (bids due June 16, 2026); and (3) ATS testing and emergency power system design services, such as the City of Phoenix sealed offer AVNIFB260125 for ATS testing, maintenance, and repair (offers due March 12, 2026) and City of Cooper City RFQ2026-1 for engineering design services for electrical improvements ($3.7 million estimated value). Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas (25+ opportunities), Georgia (8+ opportunities), and scattered across Florida, Illinois, Wisconsin, Colorado, Arizona, and the District of Columbia, with July 2026 showing the highest volume of recent postings.
