UNSPSC 26131505: Marine power plants

UNSPSC 26131505 Marine power plants is a Commodity code that encompasses renewable and distributed energy generation systems, energy storage, and associated infrastructure being solicited by state and local governments. Based on recent opportunities, state and local procurement under this code covers solar photovoltaic installations (including rooftop arrays and microgrid-scale systems), battery energy storage systems, wind microturbines, waste-to-energy facilities, microgrid design and integration, DC fast charging infrastructure, electrical and emergency power systems, and maintenance and repair services for power generation equipment. The issuing bodies span cities (Decatur, Pasadena, Dallas, Tybee Island), counties (Fairfax County, Boulder County, DeKalb County), special districts (Eastern Municipal Water District, Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County), and state procurement platforms (South Dakota through Sourcewell). Cities and counties soliciting under the code are pursuing incremental renewable generation capacity at municipal facilities, parks, and utilities; water districts and waste authorities are conducting larger-scale infrastructure replacements and long-term operational contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Virginia, California, Colorado, and South Dakota, with solicitations spanning design-engineering services, full turnkey installation, procurement of equipment with ongoing maintenance, and resolicitations to expand qualified contractor pools. Representative opportunities include the City of Decatur's RFP for design and engineering of a 170 kW solar plus 250 kW/500 kWh battery microgrid with EV fast charging at the Police Department (proposals due October 13, 2026), the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County's RFEI for demolition, design, build, operate, and maintenance of a mass-burn waste-to-energy facility processing 2,550 tons per day (LOI due November 18, 2026), the City of Tybee Island's RFP for a 42 kilowatt rooftop solar array installation on its Marine Science Center with Q-Cell panels and SMA Sunny Boy inverters (proposals due November 3, 2026), Fairfax County's resolicitation of electrical and emergency power systems installation and replacement (proposals due October 16, 2026), and the City of Pasadena's RFP for design, permitting, procurement, and maintenance of a 5 kilowatt rooftop wind microturbine (proposals due July 7, 2026, though this posting date predates recent activity). Opportunities reflect emphasis on federal funding compliance (Build America, Buy America provisions visible in Decatur procurement), multi-year service agreements for operations and maintenance, and licensed design-build delivery for large-scale projects.
