UNSPSC 32121705: Inverters

UNSPSC 32121705 Inverters is a Commodity code that covers electrical power conversion and control equipment, though recent state and local solicitations show the code encompasses a broader range of electrical equipment and components than the code name alone suggests. State and local governments are procuring protection relays, feeder relays, electrical components, control panels, motor control centers, solenoids, ballasts, capacitors, and SCADA-integrated electrical equipment under this classification. Issuing bodies include utility authorities, county governments, school districts, and transit authorities. Kissimmee Utility Authority in Florida is seeking SEL 451 Protection relays and SEL 751 Feeder Protection Relays as a sole-source procurement to replace aging protection relays throughout its electrical system, with equipment required to integrate fully with existing SCADA infrastructure and standardized protection schemes. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida has solicited control panels, enclosures, and Schneider brand electrical components on separate contracts over a two-year period with estimated values of $3.66 million and $519,787.19 respectively.
