UNSPSC 39101612: Incandescent lamps

UNSPSC 39101612 Incandescent lamps is a Commodity code tracking lighting products that state and local governments are actively buying—though the solicitations posted under it overwhelmingly feature LED lighting rather than incandescent fixtures, signaling a wholesale shift in procurement practice. Recent opportunities show school districts, transit authorities, and municipal utilities buying LED luminaires, LED light assemblies, LED bulbs, and general electrical supplies that include lighting components on both as-needed and project-specific bases. The issuing bodies are predominantly independent school districts (Parkway School District, Northside Independent School District, Pinellas County School District, Cherokee County School District in Georgia) and municipal or regional transportation authorities (Harris County Toll Road Authority, Charlotte Area Transit System), with one state-level vehicle (Illinois through ALPLM) and city procurement offices (Phoenix, Charlotte). School districts appear as repeat buyers across multiple recent solicitations, typically seeking lighting supplies for districtwide deployment or targeted facility upgrades.

Activity concentrates in Texas (Northside ISD and Pinellas County in Florida, Harris County HCTRA in Houston, Cherokee County in Georgia), with recent solicitations also posted in Illinois, Arizona, North Carolina, and Minnesota through Sourcewell cooperative purchasing. Representative recent opportunities include Harris County Toll Road Authority's ITB for LED Luminaires, LED Light Assemblies and Related Items (due February 16, 2026) specifying cobra head roadway luminaires and underpass assemblies with TxDOT compliance requirements; Pinellas County School District's electrical supplies bid (due March 27, 2026) covering 27 product categories with an estimated annual contract value of approximately $950,000; Parkway School District's LED Lighting RFP (due July 30, 2026) for as-needed supply with approximately $35,000 estimated spending over twelve months beginning September 26, 2026; and Cherokee County School District's LED Lighting Conversion RFP (due February 10, 2026) for facility lighting replacement. Illinois posted an expedited ALPLM LED bulbs solicitation with fewer than nine days' notice (due June 11, 2026). The code shows strong current demand, but procurement language tagged to it often misaligns with the nominal "incandescent lamps" descriptor—modern state and local lighting purchases have shifted decisively to LED technology and efficiency-driven specifications.
