UNSPSC 26111600: Power generators

UNSPSC 26111600 Power generators is a Class code representing stationary and mobile backup power equipment that state and local governments procure for emergency operations, facility resilience, and mission-critical power supply at water and wastewater treatment plants, detention centers, fire departments, schools, convention centers, and government office complexes. Recent solicitations show purchasing bodies installing diesel and LP gas generators ranging from 80 kilowatts to 2,500 kilowatts, along with automatic transfer switches, fuel tanks, and associated enclosures. The issuing body mix spans city and county governments, state environmental and transportation agencies, regional water and sewer commissions, state departments of natural resources, public utilities, and school districts across multiple states. Repeat buyers include the City of Tampa (single-source procurement for waste-to-energy facility parts and components), Chatham County Georgia (annual detention center maintenance contracts), White County Georgia (multi-unit facility maintenance), and the California Department of Transportation and Department of Food and Agriculture (multi-location maintenance and replacement services). Geographic activity is concentrated in California, Georgia, Florida, and Maryland, with additional procurement activity in Connecticut, Colorado, Massachusetts, and Idaho.

Recent representative opportunities include the City of Cumming, Georgia issuing a competitive sealed proposal on July 6, 2026 (due August 7, 2026) for turnkey installation of a 2,500 kilowatt generator system with switchgear and control house at its potable water production facility under solicitation PE66895NONST2026000000054; the California Department of Food and Agriculture soliciting generator maintenance at four border protection stations across Nevada, Mono, Lassen, and El Dorado Counties under IFB 26-0009 (due July 15, 2026); and Glynn County, Georgia requesting proposals for a 120 kilowatt emergency generator and 800-amp automatic transfer switch installation at animal services under IFB26-039 (due July 22, 2026). The California Department of General Services procured three mobile generators (two 480-kilowatt units and one 100-kilowatt unit) on behalf of the California Department of Education under IFB 6100-0000039356 (due June 24, 2026). Maintenance and repair work—including load bank testing, quarterly and annual preventive service, and emergency repair response—appears across nearly as many solicitations as new equipment procurement, with contracts commonly structured as multi-year terms with renewal options and unit-rate pricing for routine services plus time-and-materials rates for repairs.
