UNSPSC 26111613: Tidal wave generator

A power generator that generates electricity by converting the energy contained in waves into driving force of prime mover like turbine, etc.

UNSPSC 26111613 Tidal wave generator (Commodity) does not align with the work actually being solicited under this code in state and local procurement. Recent opportunities are predominately emergency backup generators, power distribution equipment, and generator maintenance services—standby power systems for municipal facilities, water treatment plants, detention centers, airports, and other critical infrastructure—rather than tidal or wave-energy generation equipment. The code name suggests marine renewable energy technology; the actual procurement activity reflects conventional diesel, natural gas, or portable generator installations and servicing across a broad mix of issuing bodies.

State and local buyers soliciting under this code include counties (Columbia County, Glynn County, Chatham County, White County, Liberty County, and Monroe County in Georgia; Collier County in Florida), cities (Tampa, Cumming, Tifton, Eastman, and Cumming in Georgia; Cooper City and Key West in Florida; Phoenix in Arizona), university systems (University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, Augusta University), and special-purpose authorities (Georgia World Congress Center Authority, Midcoast Regional Airport). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Tampa's single-source procurement of SWECO Vibro-Energy Equipment parts ($20,000, Jul 16, 2026, objection deadline Jul 21, 2026); the City of Cumming's competitive sealed-proposal solicitation for a 2,500 kW diesel generator with switchgear and fuel storage at the Potable Water Production Facility (RFP due Aug 7, 2026); Glynn County's IFB for a 120 kW emergency generator and automatic transfer switch installation at Animal Services (due Jul 22, 2026); Columbia County's competitive bid for backup generators at three county facilities (bid due Jul 9, 2026 with mandatory pre-bid meeting Jun 17, 2026); Chatham County's annual service and repairs contract for generator equipment at the Detention Center (7 units ranging 5.5 kW to 1,000 kW, due May 5, 2026 with 30% M/WBE participation goal); and White County's RFP for generator maintenance services across 24 stationary and portable units (due Apr 24, 2026 with mandatory pre-proposal meeting Apr 2, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, with secondary activity in Florida and Arizona. South Dakota's Sourcewell cooperative solicitation for electrical power generation equipment (due Jun 23, 2026) and the University of Wisconsin's maintenance and service contract (due May 20, 2026) indicate broader regional and higher-education demand. The mismatch between code name and solicited scope suggests either miscoding in state procurement systems or a taxonomy gap—verify actual requirement before pursuing opportunities tagged with this code.
