UNSPSC 26101100: Electric alternating current AC motors

Electric motors that use alternating electrical current.

UNSPSC 26101100 Electric alternating current AC motors is a Class code that describes emergency standby generators and integrated generator systems with automatic transfer switches procured by state and local jurisdictions for backup power at critical facilities, though recent opportunities show substantial activity in generator services, maintenance, and installation rather than motors alone. State and local buyers under this code include county governments, municipalities, school districts, utility authorities, state agencies, and special-purpose districts. Recent solicitations span emergency generator procurement with integrated electrical installation (Beaufort County, South Carolina IFB for a 350 KW diesel generator and ATS at an administration building; Volusia County Schools ITB for five 125 kW emergency generators with trailers), generator maintenance and repair contracts (Seminole County RFP for routine maintenance and 24-hour emergency service on approximately 230 generators; City of Phoenix IFB for preventive maintenance, testing, and repair of over 300 industrial generators ranging from 35 kW to 3,500 kW), generator replacement projects (Orange County Health Department 125 kW generator and tank replacement; Cobb County 600 kW and 750 kW generator replacements), and specialized generator system work including cogeneration unit replacement (Bergen County Utilities Authority INNIO Jenbacher cogeneration generator procurement at a wastewater treatment plant). Installation services, automatic transfer switches, electrical integration, concrete pads, site preparation, and commissioning appear consistently across the scope.

Activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and the Southwest, with secondary activity in California, Texas, Maryland, and the Midwest. Recent representative opportunities include the Beaufort County, South Carolina IFB (issued October 12, 2026, due November 10, 2026) for a 350 kW diesel generator system with S/MBE participation requirements, automatic transfer switch, high-voltage monitoring, electrical wiring, concrete pad, masonry screen wall, and 120-day completion window with $400 per-day liquidated damages; the City of Phoenix IFB-26-0395 (issued October 2, 2026, due October 23, 2026) for five-year preventive maintenance, testing, fuel delivery, load bank testing, and 24/7 emergency response on over 300 industrial generators across aviation, water, fire, police, and other municipal facilities with DBE-Neutral small business participation requirements and 72-hour on-site arrival standards; and Orange County Health Department's IFB Y26-737 (issued April 24, 2026, due May 5, 2026) for removal and replacement of a 125 kW generator and 24-hour fuel tank with an estimated project budget of $234,000 and 180-day substantial completion deadline. Issuing bodies repeat regularly—Beaufort County, Henry County Georgia, and Seminole County Florida each appear multiple times in the recent record, signaling ongoing fleet maintenance and capital replacement cycles.
