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 standby and backup power generation equipment and related electrical machinery that state and local governments procure for facility operations, emergency response, and utility infrastructure. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers treating this code broadly to encompass diesel and propane-fueled generator systems, automatic transfer switches, motor rewinding and repair services, variable frequency drives, and electrical system upgrades at water treatment plants, detention facilities, airports, and emergency operations centers. The issuing bodies span county governments, municipal utilities, school districts, state departments, transit authorities, and special-purpose water and power districts across multiple states. Generator replacement and emergency backup power dominate recent activity—Cobb County (Georgia) solicited removal and installation of a 600 kW Generac unit at an adult detention center (ITB 26-6999, due July 23, 2026); Collier County (Florida) sought security enhancements and a diesel generator at Immokalee Airport with an estimated budget of $443,300 (IFB 258391, due July 31, 2026); Orange County (Florida) procured replacement of a 125 kW standby generator at the Health Department with an estimated cost of $234,000 (IFB Y26-737, due May 5, 2026); and Bergen County Utilities Authority (New Jersey) solicited supply, installation, and commissioning of a remanufactured 1,419 kW Jenbacher cogeneration unit at a wastewater treatment plant (ITB BCUA26C221, due July 10, 2026).

Activity spans the Southeast (Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas), the Midwest (Ohio, Nebraska, Michigan, Illinois), and the West (California, Colorado). Counties and municipalities appear most frequently as repeat buyers, with Florida jurisdictions (Orange, Collier, Gwinnett) visible across multiple solicitations. Design and engineering services—such as electrical systems master planning at the Georgia World Congress Center ($12 million total project budget) and generator replacement design at water treatment plants in Collier County (RPS 268636, due April 13, 2026)—signal the code's relevance to capital planning cycles. Maintenance and repair contracts, including motor rewinding (California DGS IFB 24-263658, due April 8, 2026), UPS preventive maintenance (Eastern Municipal Water District RFP HH3908, due April 3, 2026), and generator maintenance across multiple county facilities (White County, Georgia RFP, due April 24, 2026), indicate sustained demand for ongoing service. School districts and regional transit authorities occasionally bid for fleet electrical parts and alternators but represent a smaller share of recent activity under this code.
