UNSPSC 26131803: Generator control or protection panels

These panels monitor general functionality of generators for plant protection.

UNSPSC 26131803 Generator control or protection panels (Commodity) captures state and local procurement of emergency backup generator systems with integrated automatic transfer switches and associated control infrastructure, though recent solicitations show the code encompasses full turnkey generator procurement and installation at municipal facilities rather than discrete control panels alone. State and local governments are buying complete standby power systems—including diesel or natural gas generators ranging from 120 kilowatts to 2,500 kilowatts, automatic transfer switches, fuel storage tanks, switchgear, and installation labor—along with ongoing maintenance and emergency repair services for existing generator fleets. Issuing bodies include counties (Volusia County Florida, Hillsborough County Florida, Beaufort County South Carolina, White County Georgia, Columbia County Georgia, Henry County Georgia), cities (Waxahachie Texas, Phoenix Arizona, Cumming Georgia, Tifton Georgia, Taylor Michigan, Tampa Florida), and regional water and utilities authorities. Multiple jurisdictions issue annual or multiyear maintenance contracts for generator servicing; Henry County Georgia and Seminole County Florida appear as repeat buyers of generator maintenance services, and several Florida municipalities (Seminole County, City of Waxahachie, Hillsborough County) are active in both new installation and ongoing support contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Texas. Representative solicitations include Volusia County Schools' ITB MTS-738BC requesting five 125-kilowatt emergency generators with trailers, bids due March 30, 2017; City of Waxahachie ITB 202691 for a 250 kilowatt diesel emergency generator system with turnkey installation at the Senior Center, bids due October 22, 2026; Hillsborough County IFB 2600406 for a 1,500 kilowatt diesel generator system at the Valrico Reclaimed Water Facility, bids due November 18, 2026 at $4,728,600 estimated cost with a 5% SBE subcontractor participation goal; City of Phoenix IFB-26-0395 for preventive maintenance, testing, and repair services covering over 300 generators ranging from 35 to 3,500 kilowatts across municipal facilities, offers due October 9, 2026 with a five-year term beginning December 1, 2026; and White County Georgia RFP for generator maintenance services on 15 stationary and portable units, proposals due May 26, 2026. Solicitations typically require performance bonds equal to 100% of contract value, commercial general liability insurance of $1–2 million per occurrence, and compliance with the National Electrical Code, International Building Code, and NFPA standards.
