UNSPSC 39101618: Neon lamps

A lamp consisting of a discharge tube containing neon gas at low pressure. The lamp is constructed by mounting two electrodes within a small glass envelope. Two wire leads made of tin plated Dumet metal are brought out of the lamp to make electrical connection.

UNSPSC 39101618 Neon lamps, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The few state and local opportunities posted under this code reflect a much broader electrical-equipment purchasing category rather than neon lamps specifically. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio is soliciting sealed bids for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services through IFB 2026098 (due July 1, 2026), replacing an expiring contract; the City of Philadelphia is requesting quotes for podcast equipment including servers, PCs, tablets, and peripherals through RFQ B2627310 (due June 14, 2026); and the Illinois Department of Corrections is bidding Lithonia LED perimeter lighting and electrical components for Pontiac Correctional Center through ITB 26426DOCPONTIB52645 (due June 9, 2026, with delivery by June 30, 2026). None of these opportunities actually specify neon lamps as a line item or primary commodity. The code appears to be misclassified or dormant for practical procurement purposes under its intended product scope.

Recent activity under this code spans school districts, municipalities, state agencies, and cooperative purchasing vehicles across Texas, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, but the opportunities listed do not reflect demand for neon lamps. The Philadelphia and Illinois solicitations focus on LED lighting systems and office automation equipment respectively, while the Northside ISD opportunity is a broad blanket contract for electrical supplies and services. Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) serves multiple counties and jurisdictions across Washington state and beyond but does not reference neon lamps or lighting products. Vendors pursuing work under this code should verify that individual solicitations actually call for neon lamp products before investing in bid preparation, as the current posting pattern suggests the code may not capture meaningful recent procurement activity in this commodity.
