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 (Commodity) covers specialized lighting components that state and local governments procure for facilities maintenance, transportation systems, and distributed infrastructure. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying ballasts and related electrical supplies on blanket or master-agreement contracts for as-needed delivery to multiple facilities, with firm pricing locked for the contract term and four-day to three-working-day fulfillment required. Issuing bodies include transportation authorities, independent school districts, county parks departments, municipalities, and county governments, with no dominant repeat buyer pattern across recent activity. The geographic spread spans California (Orange County Transportation Authority), Georgia (Gwinnett County), Texas (Northside Independent School District, City of Dallas), Florida (Pinellas County School District), Arizona (City of Phoenix), and North Carolina (City of Charlotte), alongside cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell reaching multiple jurisdictions across the upper Midwest and Pacific Northwest.

Recent opportunities show ballasts specifically named in two procurements: Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation issued a competitive quote solicitation (RFQ, due June 12, 2026) for approximately 200 units annually each of 1500W metal halide ballasts at 480V and capacitors with four one-year renewal options; and Pinellas County School District solicited electrical supplies (IFB, due March 27, 2026) covering 27 product categories including ballasts and lighting controls, with an estimated annual contract value of approximately $950,000. Broader electrical-supplies solicitations—Orange County Transportation Authority (RFQ, due June 11, 2026, $50,000 over two years), Northside Independent School District (IFB, due July 1, 2026), City of Dallas (competitive sealed bid, due March 13, 2026, sixty-month ID/IQ master agreement), and City of Phoenix (IFB, due July 9, 2025, three-year term)—include ballasts within larger electrical-parts and lighting-supplies categories. These opportunities typically demand manufacturer equivalents, FOB destination pricing with no surcharges, firm fixed pricing, all-line-item bidding, and proof of insurance including general liability and workers' compensation coverage.
