UNSPSC 39101902: High intensity discharge HID ballast

UNSPSC 39101902 High intensity discharge HID ballast is a Commodity code that covers ballasts and related electrical components for lighting systems, based on what state and local governments are actually soliciting. Recent opportunities show procurement of HID ballasts (metal halide 1500W ballasts specified by Gwinnett County), industrial electrical supplies inclusive of ballast categories (Orange County Transportation Authority and Pinellas County School District), and broader electrical supplies contracts that encompass ballasts alongside conduit, wiring, fixtures, lighting controls, and distribution equipment. Issuing bodies include county transportation authorities, independent school districts, city public works and procurement departments, and county parks departments. The mix spans small targeted ballast procurements (Gwinnett County's 200 units annually) through comprehensive multi-category electrical supplies contracts serving districtwide or citywide facilities.

Procurement activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with recent solicitations from Gwinnett County, Georgia (ballasts and capacitors RFQ due June 12, 2026), Pinellas County School District, Florida (electrical supplies IB due March 27, 2026 with estimated annual value of $950,000), Orange County Transportation Authority, California (two lighting and industrial electrical supplies RFQs with budgets of $50,000 and $10,000), the City of Dallas, Texas (ID/IQ master agreement for electrical supplies due March 13, 2026), the City of Phoenix, Arizona (electrical parts and supplies IFB due July 9, 2025), and Northside Independent School District, San Antonio, Texas (electrical equipment, parts, and supplies IFB due July 1, 2026). Pricing models typically require firm fixed pricing for the entire contract term with no escalation, delivery within two to four business days, and competitive awards based on lowest responsive and responsible bid.
