UNSPSC 26131501: Diesel power plants

UNSPSC 26131501 Diesel power plants, a Commodity code, encompasses design, procurement, installation, and maintenance of distributed power generation equipment for state and local facilities, including diesel engines, solar arrays with battery storage, wind turbines, and integrated microgrids. State and local governments under this code procure equipment and systems for emergency backup power, renewable energy deployment at municipal buildings and utility facilities, and distributed energy resources that integrate storage and EV charging infrastructure. The issuing bodies span municipal utilities (Eastern Municipal Water District, City of Pasadena Department of Water and Power), city and county departments (City of Dallas, City of Decatur, City of Tybee Island, Fairfax County, DeKalb County), state conservation agencies (Missouri Department of Conservation), special-purpose districts (Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County), and county parks and open space departments (Boulder County Parks and Open Space). Contracts range from discrete equipment acquisitions—such as diesel power units for specific conservation areas—to integrated engineering, design, procurement, and long-term operation and maintenance of complex facilities including waste-to-energy plants and microgrid systems with solar, battery storage, and EV charging.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, California, Virginia, Colorado, and South Dakota, with recent solicitations spanning August through October 2026. Representative opportunities include the City of Tybee Island's RFP2026-113 for 42-kilowatt solar installation at the Marine Science Center (RFP due November 3, 2026), Fairfax County's resolicitation RFP2000004461 for electrical and emergency power systems installation and replacement (due October 16, 2026), and the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County's RFEI27501JH requesting Letters of Interest for demolition, design, build, operation, and maintenance of a mass-burn waste-to-energy facility processing up to 2,550 tons per day (due November 18, 2026). The Missouri Department of Conservation issued an IFB for two John Deere diesel power units rated at minimum 95 horsepower (due August 26, 2026), and the City of Decatur solicited design and engineering services for a 170-kilowatt solar PV system with 250-kilowatt battery storage and DC fast charging (RFP due October 13, 2026). South Dakota via Sourcewell procures electrical power generation equipment with supplies and services through cooperative purchasing (due June 23, 2026).
