UNSPSC 26111614: Piezo-electric generator

Power generation device using piezoelectric effect that generates electricity when pressure is applied

UNSPSC 26111614 Piezo-electric generator, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual purchasing activity in the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The code nominally describes piezo-electric generators—devices that convert mechanical stress into electrical energy—but the recent solicitations consistently request stationary diesel generators, mobile diesel generators, natural gas generators, and emergency backup power systems for municipal utilities, water treatment plants, detention facilities, airports, and county departments. State and local governments are buying complete emergency power infrastructure: large standby units (60 kW to 1,500 kW), trailer-mounted mobile generators, fuel supply systems, automatic transfer switches, load bank testing, and multi-year maintenance and repair contracts.

Recent procurement spans school districts, county public utilities and corrections departments, cities, water authorities, airport commissions, and special districts across Florida, Georgia, Texas, Mississippi, California, Colorado, Michigan, and South Dakota. The issuing bodies soliciting most frequently are county governments (particularly Florida counties such as Volusia, Hillsborough, Seminole, and Collier), municipal utilities, water treatment authorities, and corrections departments. Representative recent opportunities include the School Board of Volusia County requesting five 125 kW emergency generators with trailers under ITB MTS-738BC (bids due March 30, 2017); Hillsborough County Capital Projects Management seeking a 1,500 kW diesel generator system at the Valrico Reclaimed Water Facility under IFB 2600406 with a 5% SBE participation goal and estimated contract value of $4,728,600 (bids due November 18, 2026); Seminole County issuing RFP-604608-23/LNF for three-year multi-vendor generator maintenance and emergency repair services covering approximately 230 generators (proposals due September 13, 2023); the City of Phoenix requesting sealed offers under IFB-26-0395 for preventative maintenance, testing, and repair services for over 300 industrial generators ranging from 35 kW to 3,500 kW across multiple city facilities with a five-year contract term beginning December 1, 2026; New Smyrna Beach Utilities requesting quotations under RFQ 26-773 for maintenance on 25 standby and portable generators (quotes due October 15, 2026); and Collier County issuing ITB 26-8618 for generator maintenance and repair services covering both portable and stationary generators across multiple departments with a three-year initial term and two optional two-year renewals. The mismatch between the code name and the actual goods and services being procured suggests misclassification in the source data or the code assignment itself.
