UNSPSC 26131512: Gasoline generator set

Gasoline generator sets are generally compact, quieter, and versatile. Often, these generator sets have lower power, up to 6 kW, and deliver a single-phase current.

UNSPSC 26131512 Gasoline generator set is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement for backup power and distributed energy infrastructure — generators, solar and battery storage systems, wind turbines, and associated controls — deployed across municipal facilities, water districts, correctional institutions, and county properties. The code encompasses both emergency standby equipment (50-kilowatt diesel generators replacing propane units, as in the Maryland Correctional Pre-Release System procurement) and distributed generation assets integrated into microgrids and renewable-energy installations (170-kilowatt solar arrays with battery storage at police facilities, rooftop wind turbines at municipal maintenance yards, and 42-kilowatt Q-Cell solar systems on marine science centers). Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county parks and open-space departments, municipal utilities and water authorities, city facilities-management offices, state environmental services on behalf of corrections agencies, and county purchasing departments. Solicitation types include RFPs for design and engineering services, ITBs for equipment installation, and RFEIs for large integrated procurement structures (demolition, design, build, operate, maintain) for waste-to-energy facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and West, with representative opportunities posted in Georgia (City of Tybee Island solar installation RFP, response due November 3, 2026; City of Decatur microgrid design RFP, response due October 13, 2026; DeKalb County IT and Low Voltage Infrastructure ITB, response due July 13, 2026), Virginia (Fairfax County electrical and emergency power systems RFP, response due October 16, 2026), California (Eastern Municipal Water District power distribution maintenance RFP, response due July 24, 2026; City of Dallas solar maintenance ID/IQ bid, response due July 17, 2026), Florida (Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County waste-to-energy RFEI, response due November 18, 2026), Colorado (Boulder County well and solar infrastructure RFP, response due September 4, 2026), Maryland (50-kilowatt generator replacement ITB, response due June 16, 2026), and multi-state (Sourcewell electrical power generation equipment RFP through South Dakota, response due June 23, 2026). Evaluation criteria weight technical merit, relevant experience with similar systems, schedule and delivery capability, and reference quality alongside cost; Build America, Buy America and domestic-content requirements appear in federally funded projects such as the Decatur microgrid.
