UNSPSC 26101760: Choke rods

UNSPSC 26101760 Choke rods is a Commodity-level code that in practice captures state and local procurement of electrical power generation equipment, backup generator systems, and related component supply and maintenance services rather than the discrete choke rod product the code name suggests. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local governments buying emergency backup generators for critical facilities (fire stations, county government buildings, exhibition centers), comprehensive generator maintenance and repair contracts with 24/7 emergency response requirements, electric motor supply and repair services for water treatment and airport systems, and related electrical distribution and power infrastructure equipment. Issuing bodies span county governments (Columbia County and DeKalb County, Georgia; Clayton County Water Authority, Georgia; Broward County Transportation Department, Florida; Lee County Port Authority, Florida), municipalities (City of Dallas), state procurement programs (South Dakota through Sourcewell), and special-purpose authorities (Georgia World Congress Center Authority). Columbia County and Clayton County Water Authority appear multiple times in the recent activity, indicating repeat procurement cycles for generator and motor services.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with additional recent solicitations from Texas, South Dakota, and multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicles. Representative opportunities include Columbia County, Georgia's 2026021-BID3289 for emergency backup generator supply and installation at three county facilities, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting on June 17, 2026 and electronic bids due July 9, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET; the City of Dallas BT2600029808 three-year ID/IQ maintenance and repair contract for standby generators, with bids due May 15, 2026 and a 10.10% Developing Regional & Inclusive Vendor Enterprises participation goal; and Clayton County Water Authority's 2026-GS-03 sealed bid for motor repair services covering tear-down, rewinding, bearing replacement, and vibration testing across 500+ electric motors, with bids due March 6, 2026 and a ten percent SLBE discount incentive for locally certified firms. The code shows active and recurring procurement activity, particularly for maintenance contracts structured as indefinite quantity agreements with multiple-year terms and pricing adjustment provisions tied to labor indices or inflation measures.
