UNSPSC 31181802: Ignition boot

Cover for mechanism of ignition/key system.

UNSPSC 31181802 Ignition boot is a Commodity code representing specialized electrical components and materials that state and local governments purchase for utility operations and equipment repair. Recent solicitations show that the code captures a broader range of electrical hardware than the nominal product name suggests—lugs, bolts, fasteners, ground rods, couplers, insulators, cables, and clamps appear in active procurements. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal electric utilities, county governments, and cooperative purchasing vehicles on behalf of multiple participating public entities. Lubbock Power & Light, a Texas municipal utility, posted a three-quote competitive solicitation (26-7017-ELD) on September 28, 2026 for 42 line items of electrical components and materials with delivery to its Erskine Substation; quotes were due October 5, 2026 at noon. Broward County, Florida issued a Request for Information in September 2026 to assess supplier availability for crane system components and engineering services, including comparative analysis of drive-system technology—signaling potential sole-source or sole-brand procurement activity in the electrical equipment services space.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas and Florida based on recent postings. The Sourcewell cooperative purchasing vehicle, administered by a State of Minnesota local government unit, issued RFP #061626 in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities in Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties) and numerous other jurisdictions nationwide. The code shows moderate recent activity with a mix of direct utility procurement (competitive quotes on consumables and substation materials) and upstream market-assessment solicitations (RFI activity for sole-source designation). Delivery speed and firm pricing are driving factors in selection, and FOB destination with prepaid freight is a standard requirement in municipal utility procurements under this code.
