UNSPSC 26131801: Electrical control panels for generators

UNSPSC 26131801 Electrical control panels for generators is a Commodity code that covers the design, manufacturing, assembly, and procurement of control panels and switchgear systems integrated with generator installations at state and local facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying complete electrical control and switching solutions as part of emergency power system deployments, with scope spanning design-build installations, retrofit control panels for lift stations and water treatment plants, and integrated switchgear for multi-generator paralleling systems. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (San Antonio ISD issuing continuous general maintenance contracts that encompass generator-related electrical work), county governments (Glynn County, Columbia County, Chatham County, Collier County, White County in Georgia; Monroe County and Osceola County in Florida), municipalities (City of Tampa, City of Cumming, City of Tifton, City of Eastman in Georgia; City of Phoenix in Arizona; City of Cooper City in Florida), regional authorities (Tohopekaliga Water Authority in Florida; Georgia World Congress Center Authority), and special districts (Jordan School District in Utah). The code sees activity across the Southeast and Southwest, with notable concentration in Georgia (multiple counties and municipalities posting generator and control panel work since late February 2026) and Florida (water and wastewater treatment facility upgrades, lift station replacements, detention center emergency power systems).

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Cumming, Georgia PWPF Generator and Switchgear Project (solicitation PE66895NONST2026000000054, RFP due August 7, 2026) procuring a turnkey 2,500 kW generator system with 3,750 kVA step-up transformer and 3,000 A paralleling switchgear for potable water production; the Tohopekaliga Water Authority IFB-26-026 (due May 21, 2026) for design, manufacturing, and delivery of a complete lift station control panel accommodating four 88 HP pumps with NEMA 4X 316 stainless-steel enclosure and SCADA integration; the Glynn County Board of Commissioners IFB26-039 (due July 22, 2026) for procurement and installation of a 120 kW emergency generator and 800-amp Automatic Transfer Switch at Animal Services; White County, Georgia RFP for generator maintenance services covering 15 units (12 stationary, 3 portable) with specifications including remote Gen-Link monitoring subscriptions and load bank testing; and multiple San Antonio ISD continuous open-ended RFPs (most recent posted July 16, 2026, due August 15, 2026) for general maintenance services including electrical systems, generator-related repairs, and associated supplies across district facilities. Set-asides and preferences vary by issuer—South Dakota's Sourcewell procurement and Chatham County's Detention Center work include M/WBE participation goals (30% combined for Chatham), while most other solicitations carry no explicit set-aside but require E-Verify compliance and standard insurance minimums ($1 million general liability typical). Activity is current and steady through mid-2026, with question deadlines and pre-bid meetings concentrated in April and May.
