UNSPSC 26131700: Power generation monitoring or detecting equipment

Instruments and control equipment designed to monitor and detect malfunction in power gGeneration systems

UNSPSC 26131700 Power generation monitoring or detecting equipment is a Class code that in practice covers procurement of standby diesel and natural gas generators ranging from 20 kilowatts to 2,500 kilowatts, along with associated automatic transfer switches, fuel systems, installation services, and ongoing maintenance and repair support. State and local governments soliciting under this code are acquiring both equipment and turnkey installation services for emergency backup power at critical facilities including water treatment plants, municipal administrative buildings, fire stations, police departments, hospitals, senior centers, and utility operations. Issuing bodies span counties (Collier County, Henry County, White County, Seminole County, DeKalb County, and Clay County in Florida and Georgia), cities (Atlanta, Waxahachie, Madison, Phoenix, Parker, and Cumming), and special-purpose districts (Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County, Augusta University via the Board of Regents). The mix reflects routine municipal infrastructure replacement and expansion at county-level and city-level facilities, alongside specialized utility and water-sector procurement.

Recent opportunities show active procurement across Florida, Georgia, Colorado, Texas, and Virginia through ITBs, RFPs, and RFQs. The School Board of Volusia County, Florida issued an ITB in March 2017 (due date long past as of today) for five 125-kilowatt generators with trailers under a one-time definite-quantity purchase, requiring Tier 4 EPA-compliant diesel engines, microprocessor controls, and 2-year warranties. The City of Waxahachie, Texas is currently soliciting sealed bids (due October 22, 2026) for a 250 kilowatt diesel generator system and turnkey installation at the Senior Center, requiring contractors to demonstrate five years of experience and successful completion of at least three prior projects of 200 kilowatts or greater. The City of Atlanta, Georgia posted an ITB (due November 10, 2026) for installation of 40 fixed generators, 10 portable generator hookups, and 5 portable generators with associated infrastructure across municipal facilities. Collier County, Florida is soliciting maintenance and repair services (due March 24, 2026) for both portable and stationary generators ranging from 7 to 2,000 kilowatts across county departments, with awards to primary and secondary vendors in two groups. Seminole County, Florida issued a multi-vendor RFP (due September 13, 2023) for generator services and repairs covering approximately 230 units of various makes and sizes. Henry County, Georgia has posted an RFP (due August 25, 2026) for generator services and maintenance at county buildings with local-vendor preference available. Fairfax County, Virginia issued an RFP resolicitation (due October 16, 2026) to establish contracts for electrical and emergency power systems installation and replacement to broaden contractor capacity. The geographic spread reflects sustained activity in Georgia and Florida, with secondary but recurring procurement in Texas, Colorado, and Virginia; the code shows no recent relevant activity despite the nominal title referencing monitoring and detecting equipment, as posted opportunities focus squarely on generation and distribution hardware and installation services rather than instrumentation for hazard detection.
