UNSPSC 39101905: Neon ballast

UNSPSC 39101905 Neon ballast is a Commodity code representing lighting components state and local governments procure as part of routine electrical maintenance and facility operations. Based on recent solicitations, the code encompasses ballasts and capacitors for general lighting infrastructure, industrial electrical supplies, and related electrical equipment and parts. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include transportation authorities, county governments, independent school districts, and state cooperative purchasing vehicles. Orange County Transportation Authority has posted multiple lighting and electrical supplies RFQs; Gwinnett County, Georgia is actively procuring ballasts and capacitors on annual contracts; Northside Independent School District in Texas is seeking electrical equipment, parts, and supplies through IFB; and Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, has issued an RFP for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities across multiple states. Scope varies from lighting supplies delivered on as-needed basis to standardized electrical components such as 1500W metal halide ballasts and capacitors with approved equivalents specified by model number.

Activity is concentrated in California, Georgia, and Texas based on recent opportunities. Orange County Transportation Authority is a repeat buyer, with RFQs for lighting supplies (due June 11, 2026, budget $50,000 over two years) and industrial electrical supplies (due March 30, 2026, budget $10,000 for one year, incumbent contract expired February 28, 2025). Gwinnett County, Georgia Parks and Recreation Department is procuring approximately 200 units annually each of ballasts and capacitors under PA028-26 (quotes due June 12, 2026 at 3:00 p.m., FOB destination to Lawrenceville). Northside Independent School District issued IFB2026098 for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services (bids due July 1, 2026) as a replacement for expiring contract 2025-100. Sourcewell's cooperative RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) represents multi-jurisdiction procurement across Washington state and beyond, though the law enforcement equipment category appears tangential to core ballast and lighting supply activity. All awards are made on lowest responsive and responsible basis; pricing must remain firm for contract terms, and suppliers must meet insurance, compliance, and delivery requirements specified by each issuing body.
