UNSPSC 26131802: Compressor control panels

These control panels are used in Gas and Steam compression equipment and machinery

UNSPSC 26131802 Compressor control panels is a Commodity code capturing what state and local governments are actually buying: complete backup generator systems and associated turnkey installation and maintenance services. Recent opportunities show strong demand across school districts, municipal utilities, county governments, and special-purpose authorities for procuring diesel and natural gas generators ranging from 120 kW to 1,500 kW, paired with automatic transfer switches, fuel storage systems, and full-scope construction and commissioning work. Issuing bodies span a mix of counties (Hillsborough and Beaufort Counties, White County, Columbia County, and Henry County, all in the Southeast), cities (Waxahachie and Phoenix, Texas and Arizona), and municipal agencies (Seminole County and Tampa, Florida). School districts and utility authorities also appear as repeat buyers; the School Board of Volusia County solicited five 125 kW units, while the City of Phoenix has issued multiple overlapping maintenance and parts contracts for over 300 generators across facilities. The code shows strong activity in Tier-1 operations—routine maintenance, emergency repair, and load bank testing—rather than the abstract notion of "control panels" alone. Representative opportunities include the City of Waxahachie ITB for a 250 kW diesel generator with turnkey installation (response due October 22, 2026) and Hillsborough County's IFB for a 1,500 kW system with an $4,728,600 estimated value and 5% SBE subcontractor goal (bids due November 18, 2026), both reflecting the capital-project scale typical under this code.

Geographic activity clusters in Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Arizona, with scattered activity in South Carolina, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Florida procurement offices dominate the recent block—Hillsborough County, Seminole County, Tampa, and Volusia County each posted generator opportunities in the past four months. Georgia counties (Beaufort, Columbia, Henry, White, Cumming, DeKalb, Glynn, and Tifton) drive a secondary cluster of maintenance and installation work. The Texas activity includes both equipment procurement (Waxahachie) and maintenance contracts. Scope complexity varies: some opportunities are straightforward equipment supply with installation (School Board of Volusia County ITB, response date March 30, 2017—notably dated in the past and likely expired); others bundle turnkey design-build-commission work with five-year maintenance or multiple-vendor service agreements (Phoenix IFB for preventive maintenance and 24/7 emergency response on 300+ units; Seminole County's three-year RFP for repairs and maintenance on approximately 230 generators). SBE and S/MBE participation goals appear regularly in major capital projects (Hillsborough County 5% SBE; Beaufort County S/MBE requirements; White County E-Verify and compliance mandates). Contract values range from under $200,000 for single-unit installations to $4.7 million for large integrated systems, suggesting strong budget allocation across municipal utilities and emergency-services infrastructure.
