UNSPSC 31261502: Metal housings or cabinets

UNSPSC 31261502 Metal housings or cabinets, a Commodity code, encompasses electrical enclosures, control cabinets, and equipment housings that state and local governments purchase for law enforcement operations, water and wastewater infrastructure, and facilities management. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers procuring Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) cabinets with controls and enclosures for pump station operations, metal storage and display cases for administrative and library settings, and standardized law enforcement equipment housings through cooperative purchasing frameworks. Issuing bodies span water pollution control authorities, independent school districts, city purchasing departments, and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell, reflecting demand across utilities, education, public safety, and municipal operations.

Recent activity includes Sourcewell's RFP #061626 (due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment housings and components available to thousands of governmental agencies across the United States and Canada; the City of Torrington, Connecticut Water Pollution Control Authority's ITB for two Variable Frequency Drive cabinets with controls and enclosures for Harris Drive Pump Station (due March 4, 2026); Northside Independent School District's IFB 2026-051 for administrative and library furniture including filing systems and storage units (due April 8, 2026); and the City of Philadelphia's micro purchase quote for OVA storage enclosures (due April 24, 2026). Activity spans the upper Midwest through the Mid-Atlantic and Southwest regions, with recent solicitations in Connecticut, Minnesota, Washington state, Texas, and Pennsylvania. The code shows consistent demand across utilities and education but fragmented volumes and episodic procurement cycles typical of facilities and equipment replacement schedules.
