UNSPSC 39101615: Mercury vapor lamp HID

UNSPSC 39101615 Mercury vapor lamp HID is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of LED lighting products and related electrical supplies, though recent solicitations show the code is being applied primarily to LED lamps, fixtures, and luminaires rather than the mercury vapor technology nominally described by the code name. State and local governments soliciting under this code include independent school districts (Parkway School District, Northside Independent School District, Pinellas County School District, Cherokee County School District), county toll authorities (Harris County Toll Road Authority), city public works departments (City of Phoenix), transit authorities (Charlotte Area Transit System through the City of Charlotte), and state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles (Illinois through ALPLM and Sourcewell on behalf of participating Minnesota and Washington jurisdictions). School districts represent the most visible repeat buyers, issuing multiple RFPs and IFBs for lighting conversion projects, fixture replacement, and as-needed electrical supplies that include lighting components. The scope of work encompasses LED luminaire replacement, LED light assembly procurement on as-needed and project bases, electrical supplies including conduit, wire, ballasts, and lighting controls from manufacturers such as GE, Eaton, Siemens, and Schneider Electric, and integrated lighting and access-control system maintenance. Recent solicitations range from school district district-wide electrical supply contracts ($950,000 annual value at Pinellas County; $35,000 estimated annual spend at Parkway) to specialized roadway LED luminaire procurement (Harris County Toll Road Authority) and comprehensive camera and access control maintenance bundled with emergency lighting support (Charlotte Area Transit System).

Geographic activity spans Texas (Harris County Toll Road Authority ITB for LED luminaires and assemblies due February 16, 2026; Northside Independent School District IFB for electrical equipment due July 1, 2026; City of Phoenix IFB for electrical parts and supplies with offer due July 9, 2025), Florida (Pinellas County School District sealed bid for electrical supplies due March 27, 2026), Georgia (Cherokee County School District RFP for LED lighting conversion due February 10, 2026), North Carolina (City of Charlotte RFP for video and access control maintenance due March 12, 2026), Illinois (state ALPLM LED bulbs solicitation due June 11, 2026), and multistate cooperative procurement through Sourcewell (RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment due June 16, 2026). The Parkway School District RFP for LED lighting (Solicitation 275, due July 30, 2026, estimated $35,000 over twelve months) and Harris County Toll Road Authority ITB for LED luminaires, assemblies, and related items (ITB 250309, due February 16, 2026, specifying quantities of roadway and underpass fixtures with TxDOT compliance requirements) exemplify current activity. Recent opportunities reflect a market shift toward LED technology procurement and integrated electrical supply frameworks, with vendors required to hold manufacturer certifications, local stocking and delivery capability, and in some cases TxDOT pre-qualification or equivalent.
