UNSPSC 26111602: Hydro electric generators

UNSPSC 26111602 Hydroelectric generators is a Commodity code that in practice spans backup and standby diesel generators, natural gas generators, and related emergency power systems procured by state and local governments for facility resilience, infrastructure protection, and disaster-recovery funding. State and local buyers are acquiring complete generator units (ranging from 120 kW to 2,500 kW), generator maintenance and repair services on annual or multi-year contracts, turnkey installation with electrical integration, spare parts and components, and integrated power systems including automatic transfer switches and fuel storage. Issuing bodies include county governments (Orange County California, Beaufort County South Carolina, Columbia County Georgia, Henry County Georgia, White County Georgia, Glynn County Georgia, Hillsborough County Florida), municipalities (City of Waxahachie Texas, City of Phoenix Arizona, City of Tifton Georgia, City of Cumming Georgia, City of Taylor Michigan, City of Tampa Florida), school districts (School Board of Volusia County Florida), water and utility authorities (Valrico Reclaimed Water Facility Hillsborough County), sheriffs' departments (Orange County Sheriff-Coroner California), universities (Augusta University Georgia, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh), and special districts (Seminole County Florida, Fairfax County Virginia). Within the recent opportunities, Hillsborough County Capital Projects Management, Orange County Sheriff-Coroner, Seminole County Florida, City of Phoenix, and Henry County Georgia each appear more than once, signaling sustained generator and maintenance procurement across multiple facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, California, Texas, South Carolina, and Arizona, reflecting both climate-driven resilience needs and geographic distribution of critical infrastructure upgrades. Representative opportunities include Hillsborough County's November 2026 IFB for procurement and installation of a 1,500 kW diesel generator system at the Valrico Reclaimed Water Facility (estimated $4.728 million, SBE 5% subcontractor participation goal, partially federally funded through Hazard Mitigation Grant Program); City of Waxahachie's October 2026 ITB for a complete 250 kW turnkey diesel emergency generator system with automatic transfer switch and fuel delivery system at the Senior Center (mandatory pre-bid meeting and site visit October 15, sealed bids October 22); Orange County Sheriff-Coroner's November 2026 IFB for as-needed emergency generator service and repairs across 33 county facilities (24/7 response requirements, 5% OCLSB and DVBE preference deduction, four-hour technician response time); City of Phoenix's October 2026 five-year IFB for preventive maintenance, testing, and repair services covering 300+ industrial generators ranging 35 kW to 3.5 MW across municipal departments (DBE-Neutral small business participation required, 72-hour on-site arrival standard, one-hour emergency acknowledgment); and Henry County Georgia's August 2026 RFP for annual renewable generator services and maintenance for 31 generators at multiple county facilities (24/7 availability, 15-minute verbal response, 90-minute on-site arrival, local-vendor 5% preference for contracts under $100,000). Service contracts typically require 24/7 emergency availability, certified technicians, compliance with NFPA 110 or equivalent standards, and performance bonds ranging 100% of contract value. Pricing structures vary between firm fixed-price per-unit arrangements, lump-sum line-item bids, and hourly labor plus materials-at-cost models with hourly rates stratified by day and time of day.
