UNSPSC 26111604: Gas generators

UNSPSC 26111604 Gas generators (Commodity) spans procurement and service of stationary and mobile diesel and natural gas generators ranging from 35 kW to 3,500 kW for emergency backup power across municipal facilities, water treatment plants, correctional institutions, and utility operations. State and local governments buy complete turnkey generator installations with automatic transfer switches and fuel systems; procurement and installation contracts; preventive maintenance, load testing, and 24/7 emergency repair services; and generator parts and components. Recent solicitations show mixed delivery models: outright equipment purchase with installation labor, service-only agreements for existing fleets, and full design-build-operate arrangements.

Issuing bodies span county governments (Orange County California Sheriff; Columbia County, Henry County, White County, Beaufort County South Carolina, Glynn County Georgia; Seminole County and Hillsborough County Florida), city procurement offices (Phoenix, Waxahachie, Tampa, Cumming, Tifton, Taylor Michigan), state agencies (Maryland Environmental Service, California Correctional Training and Rehabilitation Authority, South Dakota through Sourcewell), university systems (Augusta University, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh), and special districts (Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County). Florida and Georgia dominate recent posting activity, with additional work in California, South Carolina, Texas, Maryland, Colorado, Michigan, and South Dakota. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Waxahachie's ITB for procurement and turnkey installation of a 250 kW diesel generator system at the Senior Center, due October 22, 2026; Hillsborough County's competitively sealed bid for a 1,500 kW generator at the Valrico Reclaimed Water Facility at an estimated $4.7 million, due November 18, 2026; the County of Orange Sheriff-Coroner's IFB for emergency generator service and repairs across 33 facilities with 5% local small business and DVBE preference, due November 12, 2026; and the City of Phoenix's five-year IFB for preventive maintenance, testing, and repair of over 300 industrial generators across aviation, water, fire, and public works facilities, due October 23, 2026. Larger capital projects carry performance and payment bond requirements at 100 percent of contract value; service contracts typically require general liability insurance of $1 million to $2 million. DBE, SBE, and local-vendor preferences appear in Phoenix (DBE-Neutral small business requirements), Hillsborough County (5% SBE goal), Orange County (5% OCLSB and DVBE preference), and Henry County (5% local preference on contracts under $100,000).
