UNSPSC 32151707: Programmable Logic Controller Programming Device

UNSPSC 32151707 Programmable Logic Controller Programming Device is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure PLC programming, system integration, and SCADA modernization services—typically as part of larger control-system upgrades at water treatment facilities, utilities, and public buildings. Recent solicitations show work ranging from replacement of legacy PLCs with current-generation controllers (Schneider Electric M580, Allen-Bradley ControlLogix) to complete SCADA HMI system migrations, network architecture conversions (ControlNet to Ethernet/IP), and operator training. Issuing bodies include municipal water departments, city watershed management agencies, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts. The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management appears as a repeat buyer, with two concurrent pre-advertisement notices posted in May 2026 for SCADA improvements at separate water treatment plants (Hemphill and Chattahoochee).

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with additional procurement in California and New Mexico. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Atlanta's pre-advertisement notice (PE66062NONST2026000000376) for Hemphill Water Treatment Plant SCADA modernization—a 360-day project involving replacement of General Electric iFix systems with Schneider Electric AVEVA Wonderware, installation of new 5580 ControlLogix controllers, Factory Acceptance Testing, and operator training, with responses due May 29, 2026; the City of Santa Fe's RFP (FY26RFP036) for PLC replacement and SCADA modifications at the Buckman Direct Diversion water system, targeting four critical PLCs using Schneider Electric Unity Pro XL software with a December 18, 2025, submission deadline; and Valencia College District's RFP 2026-26 for college-wide classroom and conference room technology services involving system programming, control automation, and integration across nine campuses. Minimum vendor qualifications consistently require five or more years of comparable end-to-end integration experience, demonstrated past performance on three or more similar projects completed within the past five years, and key personnel with seven or more years of PLC programming and SCADA/HMI development expertise. No set-aside or disadvantaged-enterprise restrictions are noted in the Atlanta or Santa Fe solicitations; Valencia College requires standard certification and disclosure forms but specifies no enterprise category limitations.
