UNSPSC 26131503: Hydro power plants

UNSPSC 26131503 Hydro power plants is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The opportunities that have been solicited under this code span renewable energy design, installation, and maintenance services—solar photovoltaic systems, microgrids with battery storage and DC fast charging, wind microturbine distributed energy resources, and power distribution maintenance—rather than hydroelectric generation facilities or hydropower plant equipment and services.

The issuing bodies across recent opportunities include municipal governments (City of Tybee Island, Georgia; City of Decatur, Georgia; City of Pasadena, California; City of Dallas, Texas), county governments (Fairfax County, Virginia; Boulder County, Colorado; DeKalb County, Georgia; Eastern Municipal Water District in Riverside County, California), and special-purpose authorities (Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County, Florida). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Tybee Island's RFP for a 42 kilowatt solar array installation at a marine science center, due November 3, 2026; the City of Decatur's RFP for microgrid design and engineering services including a 170 kW solar photovoltaic system, 250 kW/500 kWh battery storage, and DC fast charging infrastructure, due October 13, 2026; the City of Pasadena's RFP for rooftop wind microturbine design, engineering, and maintenance services, due July 7, 2026; and Boulder County Parks and Open Space's RFP for stock water well drilling and solar pump installation on agricultural properties, due September 4, 2026. Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) and Western states (California, Colorado), with one procurement from South Dakota through the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing portal. The code shows no recent hydropower plant solicitations and appears misapplied to distributed renewable energy and water infrastructure work.
