UNSPSC 26101769: Ignition coil

A device that converts current from a battery into the high-voltage current required by spark plugs.

UNSPSC 26101769 Ignition coil is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The recent solicitations tagged under this code reflect a mismatch between the code's nameplate product and the work state and local governments are actually buying. Of three substantive opportunities in the block, one—Lubbock Power & Light's electrical components RFQ—covers specialized utility hardware (lugs, bolts, fasteners, ground rods, couplers, insulators, cables, clamps) required for substation assembly and maintenance, bearing only tangential relation to automotive or small-engine ignition systems. The second opportunity, Broward County's RFI for crane system engineering and parts services from TMEIC Corporation, involves industrial lifting equipment with no connection to ignition coils. The third, a Sourcewell cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment, is a broad framework procurement unrelated to the code's core product category. None of these solicitations target ignition coils as a primary deliverable or consumable.

Geographically, the limited activity appears concentrated in Texas and Florida, with Sourcewell's cooperative mechanism extending multi-state reach across Washington and participating jurisdictions nationwide. The issuing bodies include municipal utilities (Lubbock Power & Light), county governments (Broward County, Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, Yakima County through Sourcewell), and state and regional cooperatives. The mismatch between code and actual procurement signals that buyers are not using UNSPSC 26101769 to tag ignition-coil opportunities in recent state and local solicitations, or the code is receiving miscategorized submissions from utilities and equipment vendors. Firms pursuing ignition-coil contracts with state and local bodies should verify category coding with issuing authorities rather than rely on this code as a reliable signal for relevant opportunities.
