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 is a Commodity code that encompasses diesel and natural gas emergency standby generators, automatic transfer switches, and integrated backup power systems procured by state and local governments for critical facility operations—a scope that diverges significantly from the code's literal name and reflects what jurisdictions actually buy under this classification. State and local procurement offices across the country use this code to tag opportunities for emergency generator procurement, installation, maintenance, and repair services serving water utilities, wastewater treatment plants, municipal administrative buildings, fire departments, police departments, emergency communication centers, airports, convention centers, parks and recreation facilities, and other essential infrastructure. Counties, cities, utilities, and special-purpose districts dominate the issuing-body mix; state-level procurement is less common in the recent sample. School districts and transit authorities do not appear in the recent opportunities. Repeat buyers include Beaufort County (South Carolina), Henry County (Georgia), and the City of Waxahachie (Texas), each issuing multiple solicitations for generator procurement, installation, and maintenance within the past six months. Scope varies from turnkey procurement-and-installation projects (often 200 kW to 1,500 kW diesel systems with walk-in enclosures and sub-base fuel tanks) to annual maintenance contracts covering fleets of 15 to 230 units across multiple facilities, with service calls differentiated by day-of-week and hour, load bank testing, and 24/7 emergency response expectations.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast, with Georgia, Florida, Texas, South Carolina, and North Carolina accounting for the majority of posted opportunities. Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, Virginia, and the District of Columbia represent secondary markets. Representative opportunities include the City of Waxahachie's October 2026 ITB for 250 kW turnkey diesel generator installation at the Senior Center (sealed bids due October 22, 2026); Orange County (California) Sheriff-Coroner's November 2026 IFB for as-needed emergency generator service and repairs across 33 county facilities (bids due November 12, 2026, with 5% preference for certified Orange County Local Small Business or DVBE vendors); Hillsborough County (Florida) Capital Projects Management's November 2026 competitively sealed bid for a 1,500 kW diesel generator installation at the Valrico Reclaimed Water Facility ($4.728 million estimated contract value, partially Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funded, 5% SBE subcontractor participation goal); Beaufort County (South Carolina)'s November 2026 IFB for procurement and installation of a 350 kW diesel generator at the Administration Building (S/MBE participation required unless contractor performs 100% in-house); the City of Phoenix's October 2026 IFB for preventive maintenance, testing, and repair services for over 300 industrial generators (35 kW to 3,500 kW) across municipal facilities, five-year term commencing December 1, 2026, DBE-Neutral small business participation requirements applied; and Henry County (Georgia)'s August 2026 RFP for generator services and maintenance covering 31 diesel and natural gas units (15 kW to 750 kW) at county buildings, renewable annual contract, local-vendor preference applied for bids within 5% of low out-of-county bid on contracts under $100,000. Multi-unit, multi-location maintenance contracts and capital projects incorporating fuel-tank subsystems, automatic transfer switches, high-voltage monitoring, and construction of concrete pads and architectural screen walls remain the dominant solicitation patterns.
