UNSPSC 39101907: Electronic high intensity discharge EHID ballast

An electronic ballast that has been engineered to operate high intensity discharge lamps.

UNSPSC 39101907 Electronic high intensity discharge EHID ballast is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure ballasts, capacitors, and related electrical lighting components for facility operations and maintenance. Recent opportunities show that this code encompasses both high-intensity discharge ballasts specified by brand and model (such as 1500W metal halide ballasts at 480V) and supporting electrical supplies for transportation authorities, county parks departments, and school districts. State and local buyers source these components on as-needed blanket contracts and annual supply agreements, typically requiring new, unopened stock with rapid delivery (often within four business days) to multiple facilities. Issuing bodies include regional transportation authorities, county parks and recreation departments, and independent school districts, with pricing evaluated on a lowest-responsive-and-responsible basis and firm-fixed-price terms throughout the contract period.

Activity concentrates in California and Georgia. The Orange County Transportation Authority has posted multiple lighting and electrical supplies RFQs covering ballasts and related components with budgets ranging from $10,000 to $50,000 over one- to two-year terms, including RFQ 250386 (Lighting Supplies, $50,000 over two years, due June 11, 2026) and RFQ 250243 (Industrial Electrical Supplies, $10,000 over one year, due March 30, 2026). Gwinnett County, Georgia issued a competitive quote request (PA028-26) for approximately 200 units annually of 1500W metal halide ballasts and capacitors with quotes due June 12, 2026, specifying brand models with approved equivalents and an initial contract term with four one-year renewal options. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas posted IFB2026098 for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, and services with bids due July 1, 2026, replacing an expiring contract and noting that all vendors must respond or risk losing future business. A Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP (#061626) for law enforcement equipment issued June 16, 2026 encompasses multiple Washington state counties and broader public entities but does not clearly align with the ballast code's scope.
