UNSPSC 26101724: Glow plugs

UNSPSC 26101724 Glow plugs is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement covers aftermarket and replacement components for internal-combustion engine starting and operational systems, though recent opportunities show the code is being applied to a much broader set of electrical and power generation equipment solicitations where glow plugs are not the primary deliverable. State and local issuing bodies tagging work under this code are purchasing emergency backup generators, generator maintenance and repair services, electric motor supplies and repairs, and power distribution equipment for facilities and transit operations. The issuing-body mix spans county governments (Columbia County and DeKalb County, Georgia; Clayton County Water Authority, Georgia), cities (Dallas), regional transit authorities (Broward County Transportation Department), airport port authorities (Lee County Port Authority, Florida), convention center authorities (Georgia World Congress Center Authority), and state-level cooperative procurement (South Dakota through Sourcewell). Columbia County, Georgia and Clayton County Water Authority, Georgia appear as repeat buyers in the recent activity.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and Florida, with secondary activity in South Carolina and statewide cooperative purchasing through South Dakota's Sourcewell portal. Representative recent solicitations include Columbia County, Georgia's ITB 2026021-BID3289 for emergency backup generators at three county facilities (due July 9, 2026); Broward County Transportation Department's open-end indefinite quantity contract TRN2132053B1 for Cummins engine and chassis system repairs for transit buses (closed June 1, 2026); the City of Dallas BT2600029808 for emergency generator maintenance and repair services under a three-year ID/IQ agreement (due May 15, 2026); and Clayton County Water Authority's bid 2026-GS-03 for motor repair services including rewinding and testing across water and wastewater treatment facilities (due March 6, 2026). The code shows significant mismatch between its nominal scope (glow plugs) and what state and local governments are actually procuring under it (complete power generation systems, motor rebuilds, and electrical infrastructure), suggesting either systematic misclassification in the procurement systems or jurisdictional use of the code as a catch-all for engine and electrical equipment.
