UNSPSC 26101302: Alternator

UNSPSC 26101302 Alternator is a Commodity code that covers standby and backup power generation equipment and associated maintenance and repair services for state and local facilities. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local governments buying emergency backup generators for critical facilities, comprehensive maintenance and repair services for existing generator fleets, and related power distribution equipment. Columbia County, Georgia, the City of Dallas, the Clayton County Water Authority, and other jurisdictions are actively soliciting for generator supply and installation, emergency repair and preventive maintenance contracts with 24/7 response requirements, and motor repair services supporting water treatment and transportation operations. Work includes full-service generator maintenance with load bank testing, emergency on-call repair labor with strict response times (typically two-hour arrival windows), parts replacement using original equipment manufacturer specifications, and technical certifications for servicing multiple generator brands including Kohler, Cummins, Generac, and Caterpillar.

Recent activity spans multiple states, with notable concentration in Georgia (Columbia County, DeKalb County, Clayton County Water Authority, and Georgia World Congress Center Authority), Texas (City of Dallas, Broward County Transportation Department in Florida), and cooperative purchasing vehicles at state level (South Dakota through Sourcewell). Representative current opportunities include Columbia County, Georgia's ITB for emergency backup generators at three county facilities with electronic bids due July 9, 2026 and a mandatory pre-bid meeting on June 17, 2026; the City of Dallas's three-year ID/IQ service agreement for generator maintenance and repair (due May 15, 2026); and the Clayton County Water Authority's annual motor repair services contract covering tear-down, rewinding, and balancing of electric motors across water treatment facilities (due March 6, 2026). Set-asides are common—Clayton County offers ten percent SLBE discounts for certified local businesses, and Dallas enforces Developing Regional & Inclusive Vendor Enterprises participation goals at 10.10 percent. Most solicitations require factory certification, minimum years of hands-on repair experience, comprehensive insurance (General Liability typically $1 million to $2 million, Workers' Compensation, and Auto Liability), and bid bonds equal to 5 percent of the contract amount on higher-value awards.
