UNSPSC 26111602: Hydro electric generators

UNSPSC 26111602 Hydro electric generators is a Commodity code covering the supply, installation, and maintenance of backup power generation systems. State and local governments procure under this code primarily for emergency and standby power at critical facilities—water treatment plants, detention centers, airports, convention centers, and municipal utilities—rather than for hydroelectric generation itself. Recent solicitations show a mix of turnkey generator installation projects, maintenance and repair service contracts, equipment replacement work, and design services for generator system upgrades. The issuing bodies span county governments, municipal water and utilities departments, university systems, transportation authorities, and special-purpose districts across multiple states, with no single buyer dominating the activity. Work solicited includes complete generator system design-build projects with automatic transfer switches and fuel infrastructure; annual maintenance packages combining routine inspections, emergency on-call repair, and fuel polishing per NFPA 110 standards; and selective equipment replacement such as variable frequency drives for cooling tower fan motors.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with scattered opportunities in California, South Dakota, and Arizona. Representative opportunities include the City of Cumming, Georgia soliciting sealed proposals for a 2,500 kW diesel generator system with switchgear, step-up transformer, and control house at the Potable Water Production Facility, with proposals due August 7, 2026 under IFB format; Chatham County, Georgia requesting bids for annual service and repairs covering seven active generator sets ranging from 5.5 kW to 1,000 kW at the Detention Center, with sealed bids due May 5, 2026; White County, Georgia issuing an RFP for comprehensive maintenance of 24 generators across county facilities with proposals due April 24, 2026; the City of Tampa issuing a single-source intent for SWECO Vibro-Energy Equipment replacement parts valued at twenty thousand dollars, with objection deadline July 21, 2026; and Glynn County, Georgia soliciting installation of a 120 kW emergency generator and 800-amp automatic transfer switch under IFB26-039, bids due July 22, 2026. Collier County, Florida has issued an RPS for professional engineering design services for emergency power generator replacement at three water treatment facilities, proposals due April 6, 2026. The code includes both capital equipment procurement and recurring service and maintenance activity, with evaluation criteria commonly emphasizing past performance on similar projects, financial capacity, personnel qualifications, and cost.
